You Are Lovely

There is this thing called stide efficiency, which is like getting the most “bang for your buck” but it’s with the most speed/distance for your energy. And if you run slower than your stride efficancey you are actually making your run more difficult and harder on your joints.

Usually you don’t want to slow down past a 10 maybe 11 min miles. If you find yourself struggling start with walking running interveles at small distances and work your way up to running small distances. Then increase your speed as you go. I have full workouts for both levels on my page. Go look for them or come ask me.

When you run you can also increase stride efficiency. I’m pretty sure it happens just by training in intervials for speed after you get your distances up enough. I’ll try to make a more specific post this weekend. :)
