A.M. - 50 minute treadmill workout at the gym. Pretty much the same progressive incline and touch of faster at the end workout that I did on Monday. Challenging, but felt good. This workout does a good job of working me and seems about right for my level of conditioning right now. For the next little while, I'm not really too interested in stepping it up much beyond this level.
Hey, for anyone reading this, I've got a question... 'Not sure if this is the best place to ask this or if using the discussion board function is better... So, I really like this pair of Adidas Aegis shoes that I'm currently using. They are a good light-weight neutral performance trainer-type shoe (around 9 oz, I think) that fit/feel good. Quite frankly, they're probably the trainer I look forward to using most. Right now, I only use them for about every other treadmill workout. However, when I get about 30 mins into my run I start getting a 'hot spot' under the ball of my right foot (never the left) that gets progressively uncomfortable through the end of the workout. I wanna say it almost gets to the point of a blister. But once I'm done, get the shoes off, and shower, its fine. I don't have this issue with any of my other shoes and really don't want to have to give up the Aegis because of it. The problem has probably been happening to varying degrees over the past 2 months. I use good wicking socks and have various different types. I lace my shoes conventionally the same way on both sides. I started using the shoes back in June and they hardly look worn since they've only been used for mill workouts (although they do have a fair amount of miles on them by now). The only things I can think of are that maybe the shoes really are wornout (though they don't look to be) or I have some kind of biomechanical inefficiency that's causing the problem. Most of my current arsenal of training shoes (see above) are slightly heavier and of the performance stability category. Not sure if that has something to do with it.
I'm thinking of putting a couple strips of tape on my foot to see if that helps.
Anyone got any thoughts/suggestions?
