Running Tips

First time I started running with this new technology Newton
running shoes, I could already feel the difference. I managed
to run 2km without feeling any pain on my knees. Now, that’s
an achievement. Prior to this, I could barely cover 100metres
without feeling the discomfort and pain on my knees due to the
continuous pounding of the heels with the ground upon impact.

The fore-foot running technique not only helps to keep my legs
from injury, it also help me to increase my running performance.
I now run about 20km per week, with an increase of 1.2km at the
end of every week. I do cross-training on days when I am not
schedule to run. I am taking it easy and focusing on my technique
rather than speed at the moment.

I do feel some strain on my calf muscles. This is normal as
I am getting use to this new technique of running and at times
I stretch the distance I covered. Hmm! There are actually some
gain to the pain. The sense of accomplishment and the freedom
to let my spirit breeze through the air outweigh the stress that
the body go through.
