Global Running Day Challenge

It’s a major award!

Lately I’ve been trying to get a 5 km run/walk in once a week, in a (perhaps unrealistic) attempt to improve my endurance. So it was fortunate that this week’s effort coincides with the latest Apple Fitness “Limited Edition Challenge.” Hoot!

I’ve recently noticed that my running posture (and thus my breathing and recovery between running segments) is much improved when I “think” my chin up and forward. No surprise there, I suppose.

But I also noticed today that my knees and hips were much happier if I also think my toes forward and focus on landing my weight straight down into the running surface, rather then slightly forward. (I run on the balls of my feet, btw.) I assume seasoned runners know all this already, but I am still in my “discovery” phase.

Cheers, all!
