Demonstration warm-up showing pace, cadence, stride length and heart rate at start, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, 2000m, 3000m. This corresponds with Chapter 8 - Going For a Run.
Feel the firm support that a well-balanced landing gives you and relax. The speed builds naturally. kdpbook.link/for/B0DN4K1T...

Still progressing well towards the 70+ records targets. At the track last night:
2 x 400m, 3 x 1km, 2 x400m (60)
88, 86, 3:43, 3:40, 3:36, 82, 79 another solid session. Scar tissue around the ankle still restricting movement.
Shoes still performing well and no wear on the soles :-)

I’m old enough to remember when the bunch of cops choked a man to death for selling a single cigarette on the sidewalk. And here we have a dumb president who just wiped out $6 trillions of wealth from the stock market and he’s out there golfing with the Saudis for the weekend.

Yes indeed. Chapter 11 actually covers that too so we are on the same page. Good luck

May I also suggest reading the first two chapters about the cause of each running injury - olderyetfaster.com/sample both authors are good runners and jointly have about 90 years of running and racing and 20+ years of podiatry work, fixing runners :-)

You will fully grasp the physics of running, the effects of footwear and technique on your body, and the benefits of this simple approach to injury reduction and rehabilitation."
