Try Running Straight Out Of The Weight Room

Hi folks,

When my doctor or my coach tell me to do something, I don’t necessarily do it. Most of the time I do, but now and then the action seems ill advised for me personally. In the case of doctors I argue, and they sometimes listen, but generally not. In the case of my coach, I give it a try, and if it doesn’t feel right I let him know (or blog about it). Recently, I was instructed by my coach to do a weight-room workout, including squats and lunges, followed immediately by a short run. I thought, “Boy, that is going to be hell on wheels!” I was wrong. It felt great. My legs were pumped and all springy feeling, and the effect was a run where I felt light on my feet, and almost floating.

Give it a try!
