Yesterday was the second day on Week 3 of Couch-to-5k. Nothing noteworthy to report, but one fun thing did happen. After I was done with the run and the 5-minute post-run cooldown, I still felt like running some more. So I sprinted down one side of my apartment complex at full speed, and it felt awesome! I made sure to run the right way, making sure to land on the balls of my feet and not the heels, and so I felt absolutely no shin pain.
I don’t quite remember what triggered it, but when I visited the US back in November 2013 on a business visa, I decided to take up running. I’d previously read about the Couch-to-5k running program that is designed to slowly ramp up beginners into running 5 kilometers in one go. So I went to the subreddit and looked up running shoes. I discovered that there are a few sports stores in the US where they have people who analyze your running style and suggest shoes that would be ideal for your style.
