Quick question guys -
Im feeling a little srain in my right calf and im thinking if I go for my evening run i might worsen it.
If tommorow I done a 3 day split Morning/Afternoon/Evening, would this still be sufficent in terms of training?
If I split my routine to 3 times a day generally, if I can, would that be worth doing?
Love your enthusiam mate but be a tad careful with your body doing SO much running when you're so new to it all.
Running with bad technique and/or wearing shite footwear (especially if you're a bit overweight) can do more harm than good to a runner's body.
I defintely recommend finding your nearest specialist runners shop (there's loads all around the country) - get them to put you on their machines for a gait analysis, running style analysis etc.
It will be free assessment - just go in the shop and say you've just got into running and you're interested in buying some suitable running shoes - you don't actually have to buy from them!
They'll give you some really useful advice about your technique and the correct footwear for you... I mean do you know if your feet over-pronate or under-pronate?! Or if you've got high-arches or you're flat-footed?!?!
Re: doing 3 running sessions per day... The trick with training is too always try to do more in less... so
decrease your sessions down to 1 or 2 per day BUT try and
increase the intensity level of the sessions - e.g. try some of the things I mentioned to you before... gradient hill inclines, interval training, time/distance challenges etc.
And most importantly... enjoy it!!!!!
