51. "They brought me back from the dead" In response to In response to 49 Mon Aug-24-20 07:46 PM by Walleye
Like I said earlier, haven't strung together more than 2-3 good weeks in a row until this summer. Now I'm on week 13 of 5-7 days worth of running. I've started adding doubles once and awhile and weekly mileage is creeping into the high-30s. I miss running very far and pretty fast, but I'm going really slowly with the volume because I desperately don't want to get injured again.
And the shoes are the only things that are really different.
The one thing I'm curious about is if the rocker shape of the sole means I run differently. It wouldn't bother me if they had re-shaped my gait in a meaningful way, as I'm not going to argue with healthy results. But it took a lot of really long, stupid work in college to run the way my coach's wanted me to, and it would be pretty funny if it just whooshed away because of a pair of shoes. And two decades. And a lengthy injury history. And about fifty (now only 20, though) pounds.
I hope you have fun in them. Report back if you've got a strong view of them.
