I went out this morning without my IPod, which is usually a staple on my runs, and had a fantastic run. I went to a run/walk interval run today. This truly helps in recovery and to set a good pace. A lot of beginning runners will start off too heavy and try to run too fast, create injuries and prevent a good workout. Just like the tortise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race. Now, as you continue on, you will start to notice your paces getting faster. Along with the natural building of speed, when you have a good foundation of training, you can bring in hills, interval, fartlek, etc. Just don't pace too fast.
The total was 4 miles, at about 45 minutes. So, easy pace, nothing drastic, just building my cardio ability back up.

I thought, for your knee, it was bad to run that slow? Does this mean you could actually run with me now?
