Day 2: Asics Gel Nimbus
I have concluded, that my adductor dysfunction is attributable to my orthotics. Thus, I have removed them. Immediately this morning I felt relief when walking. So much so, that tripping on a block of ice, made me run afterwards to regain balance, and producing no pain.
I decided to try the new shoes without the orthotics, on the treadmill.
Right shin a bit painful for first 10 minutes. Reaching the six minute chore took what seemed like eternity. The virtue of the treadmill, is analogous to what the late Dr. George Sheehan stated:
The first 30 minutes of a run is for my body;
The last 30 minutes are for my soul.
I had never run longer than 50 minutes on a treadmill before today. Today I ran for a full hour. A new milestone.
That earlier shin pain dissipated soon after 10 minutes had passed. I tested myself, craking the elevation to an unforseeable degree of "12", while maintaining a 7:15 pace.
Maximum heart rate achieved at 194 beats per minute.
The data is as follows:
Holy mother this was hard. At split 3, incline set to 12, pace at 7:00 for approx. 2 minutes. Thought I was going to pass out :-) :-) Stiff afterwards, but adductor pain null.
Total Time: 1:02:23
Average Heart Rate: 158
Split 1: Warm-Up: 40:46
Average HR: 155
Split 2: 95% Intensity: 4:47
Average HR: 179
Split 3: Recovery: 3:57
Average HR: 162
Split 4: 70% Intensity 12:51
Average HR: 159
*Note: Unsure why I did this after the peak.
Note: NO ORTHOTICS DURING THIS RUN, WHILE IN NEUTRAL SHOE.
Workout was as follows: Note 400mg Ibuprofen 1.5 hours prior.
Thank you.
