Marathon You Can Do It

Last week I had a minor set back. I suffered a slight back problem, a little pain on my back. It happened while I was drinking water. I normaly drink water from a bottle and I guese I overdid things because I pushed my mouth up and head backwards. The head moved far back pushing the spine down hard. Overstretching the spine!

I wasnt feeling the pain most of the time I only felt a slight pain whenever  I swallowed air.

I managed to do the two midweek speed runs without any problem. Yesterday I managed to run a 30 K run and everything went well.Today morning I decided to treat my body to a thermal massage to remove any physical stress that has accumulated in my body.

This year am trying to focus in finding a perfect running technique.

Leg movement

Am trying to ensure my leg swing starts from the hip downward that way I use all my leg muscles. Another area is the foot strike. I want to perfect the technique of pushing foward using the front of the foot. Using the front of the foot is the way to stronger and faster running.

See you next week.
