I now run in minimalist shoes (NB Minimus). I am only on my first month, so I am only up to 2 miles at a pop and have to rest my calves for 3-4 days, but the results this past weekend are encouraging. I have gotten a little faster and also cut my HR by a good 7-10 BPS at my steady pace. I lose some speed going down hill, and it's been a stiff learning/healing curve, but I am having fun with it.

There is a very rough 2 mile course in my very hilly town that I've never been able to break 16:5X (there's about 400 ft of ascent), but I crushed it with a 16:14 two days ago, even with a slower pace on the downhill portions. My new goal is breaking into the 15's.

signed up for the James Island Connector 10k. Oh boy.

I tried out some calf compression sleeves this weekend.

I gotta say I was skeptical of the hype but I really feel like they work. I havent ran in two weeks and knew I would be sore from a 4 mile run but after wearing these I didnt have any problem with calf fatigue or soreness for the next day or so. I would recommend them.

Thats a lot of thinking time.

MonteC · 10-28-2011, 10:01 AM

Really not much thinking going on. Just concentrating on my breathing and my pace.
