Hi all,
I am 5ft8’ and weigh 11.5 stone. A year ago I started jogging 1.5 mile for fitness, every 3 days, only in summer and stopped after that. About 1 month ago, I decided that I was going to jog all year round, in all weather conditions, for fitness still. I have since been jogging 7 days a week and 2 weeks ago I increased my distance by half a mile and I now jog for 2 miles. I went to SweatShop.co.uk yesterday to have my running gait looked at for a suitable pair of trainers, but as they didn’t have my correct size I will have to wait 10 days before acquiring my new pair of running trainers. Today, during my jog I felt some mild stinging in my right shin. I do jog on a tarmac path in my local park, is this why or is it because I jog everyday?
For the past 5 days, I have been taking 2 cod liver oil capsules everyday. I normally do about 3 minutes of pre-stretch on the front and back of my legs but 5 days ago I started stretching my 'calves' also before my jog. I have to walk for about 5 minutes before I get to the park and on my way home. Should I be doing the same stretches after my 2 mile jog?
I think that I’m doing most of it right, apart from the jogging everyday and stretching afterwards. It seems to me that a 2 mile jog everyday isn’t exhausting my legs, considering that a colleague at work runs about 8 miles, two or three times a week.
Please advise and sorry for the long-windedness of my message.
