This may sound completely stupid - but I'm using my Wii to help me build my endurance with my "running." Now before you bash me - remember that I'm not a runner and I need all the help I can get. :) So does Pam. (Can't leave my girl out you know.)
Actually, I think it might be helping. I've been "running" in place for 10 minutes at a time using Wii Fit. I've done this the last three nights. Each night, my little Mii (person on the Wii) has ran farther than the day before. The first night I could have collapsed by the time the 10 minutes passed. Tonight on Day 3, I feel like I could have kept going. That has me STOKED. Maybe Pam and I have been focusing on speed when we should have been focusing on time or distance. Or maybe we have been focusing on too many things and just need to simplify our runs. Basically, Pam is holding me back. Just kidding! :)
I have two other workouts that are even longer runs that I plan on working up too. We'll see how that goes. Is this going to help? I have no frigging idea. But I figure it can't hurt right? My goal isn't to run faster, I just want to run longer.....so maybe this will help me accomplish that goal. The test will be when I get back out on the Rail Trail next week. It's a lot easier running in place inside than running down a trail in the heat! Wish me luck!
