Running and Taekwondo #1
The running and taekwondo cross training has been in place for 2 months.
Results after two months.
My runs timing is the same as 2010. But I am running less.
I increased body mass due to punching and boxing.
now my weight is 73-75kg, while last year 70kg.
With the increase in mass, I still can run, meaning my legs are stronger.
But there is spare tires and tummy that cannot be removed with a once a week running.
Monday -run, Tues-tkd, Wed: run., Thurs-Tkd, Fri-Kickboxing (sat/sun=rest)/
SO, I need to run twice a week. and my current pace is 6 min 12secs. per km.
I am using a water bottle to add weight/resistant and to hydrate myself.
Objective: Increase the pace (min/km)
Able to do Moon-Moo
Kickboxing is helping with my punches and I like the muscles around my arms (no weights lifting).
Running is the only way my tummy is flatter. The stomach exercise is for toning.

pushing and backing off.
Not to push others' limits.
Back off :takes wisdom and courage to back off.
When the fire starts, it is wiser to chant.

RUNNING
NIKE FREE :
MY run today was bad, coz, small strides really makes the leg sore, but it is not painful as tried the first time......
my gait is heel strike (not the regular type) but more like power breaking type and shift to footsword.
My brooks can take that due to the thicker soles. NIKE free is hard, I have to plant my feet fully to the grd. This makes it hard, small strides takes me to 7min/km
The good part is, it will build muscles, to my feet, barefoot running is good, but it's one heck of a learning curve.

Testing RUNNING, NIKE FREE
Today : 12th March 2011
Tested running 4.75km with the NIKE free,
Cons:
Tired after 4.75km.
Landed on heel (fast run) and on footsword (slower run)
End of day, the base of foot was tired coz the cushion was too little, too thin. (compared to my Brooks launch).
My arches= no problems, no pain. (good news).
This is not the correct way to run. The best way is to land on the entire foot, not heel strike, not sides, etc,
To achieve this, shorten the stride and lean out more.
For faster run, the best part about NIKE free is; one can almost flex the entire shoe (360 degrees), so we can do some good "pushing off" wherelese my regular shoes (NIKE, NewBalance, BROOKS, MERRELL, SOLOMAN), cannot do.
Prelim-Results: -
Will test the shoes more, as my regular running gait will change. I just got faster but I've decided to tune it with my NIKE frees (just to test what sorts of muscle it can build).
