Yesterday's run was invigorating... and I wanted to try Chi-ing this time with a different pair of shoes.. the Kayano 12.. .The 12's were my running shoes for the 10km which I did several months back... they're really nice... its feels hard.. but after awhile, you really appreciate the suspension that it provides...
In today's run, I realised that the 12 was more suited for the Heel-strike runner... for forefoot running, the cushioning that the 12 offers is SO sucky! One thing that I have found so far with Chi-running, is that I have not had any arch pain... quite amazing... in fact, I would have expected to have very tired calves.. but I have not experience that for the last 2 days.
Today, I actually shaved off 3 mins from my time, but the strange thing was that my HR did not increase... Hmmmm... I think I can actually run harder... still.. the total distance is about 3.17km so i think for the 2.4km on Friday, I can definitely afford to run harder...
The cushioning on the 12 is worse than my 11's... I have yet to try this on my new balance.. so I think I will do that on Thursday... to make up my mind on which pair I should do my IPPT on.
I really hope I do well to get that 200 bucks... I can't wait to try on those new Newtons!
