Running Sucks

posted by Marc on 11.25.07 @ 7:10 pm

T-Minus a week and a half until I do my Red Sun and I haven’t ran in a week.  Been working with a calf issue and running hasn’t been my friend. I’m thinking I should be set otherwise, however. Kicks are going to be a pain in the butt however I’ll be able to 500 of them.  The jumping rope I’d like to leave till the very end…essentially a cool down.

My current strategy is to do as many 2 minutes 8 to 8.5 mph sprints as possible followed by 2 minutes of walking.  After that I will throw it down to 1 minute 8 mph sprints for as long as I can hold that pace.  I’m hoping that it only takes me 30 minutes to run it that way. After the run I am going to divy up the 500 front kicks with the upper body stuff. (100 kicks, push-ups,100 kicks, crunches, 100 kicks, punches, 100 kicks, high blocks, last 100 kicks). This leaves the 3 minutes of sparring, 5 minutes of jumping rope, and 50 round kicks.

Anyway, that is the current plan.  Wish me luck!!!

Blasphemy! Running rules! What’s up with your calf? I like the idea that you’re running intervals, I would just suggest you do them a bit slower for now.

I got kicked in the shin while sparring and it essentially dead legged me from the knee down and toughed it out for the last 10 seconds of the match. 2 hours later my calf was, killing me.

Thanks for your comment! And also best of luck with your Red Sun. It sounds incredibly intense, but also worth it. Good luck!
