Yesterday Was A Test

I'm training for the Chattooga 50k Trail Run in June.Last weekend was my first trail run. I ran for seven miles.This weekend I had to change my plans because my lower back was spastic.I decided to walk four miles to see if my back would be ok.I stretched after the walk and that seemed to help.I rested a couple of hours, and practiced drums for an hour, before walking again.I wasn't comfortable enough to run but I walked for two more hours for a total of twelve miles for the day.I feel fine and I'm glad that I was conditioned enough to keep moving.

Do You Want To Start Jogging?

The best way in my opinion to start jogging is to find a safe place . Start out walking at a moderate pace, after a few minutes of warming up, increase your speed to a fast walk. Once you're comfortable walking faster, set a goal to jog for one minute. Return to walking fast until you have recovered. Your jog should not be much faster than your fast walk pace, because it takes time to train your lungs to take in the oxygen. When you finish jogging ,it's a good idea to do a few stretches to help with soreness. Being consistent is the best way to get better!
