Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Is that the one where you are running from zombies and going on missions to gather preps? Then every once in a while you have to run from a horde until it tells you that it's safe, thus getting interval training as well.

Ran 3 miles today. Felt great, probably go at it again tomorrow.

As part of a bike race I was doing, I had to do a half marathon, and I basically "trained" by relying on bike fitness and I ran 3 miles once / month for 3 months. (Yeah).
It got me back into running. I don't do barefoot or vibram, but I started with the NB Minimus line (back then it was actually the 101s).
For marathons I run in the Kinvara line. Being "off" for years allowed me to become a forefoot striker since I didn't have habits anymore - and those shoes definitely force the issue - but I haven't had that numbness thing since. :shrug:
FWIW, I did go to RR and BRC for the video treadmill years ago too. They said I pronated more than anyone they'd seen and put me in these uber clod-hoppers for fat walkers. They just about destroyed my back in a mile, so I returned them and gave up. I don't really believe in the over/under pronation thing anymore (well, I think it exists obviously) - I believe in trying shoes until you find what is right and working on body mechanics. And also going slow in increasing mileage (despite what I did above).
Wish I could help!

Yeah the Zombies Run app is like that. it has random zombie hordes that will chase you and force you to run faster. It is fun. The zombie 5k is by the same people but it is a 5k trainer with pure interval training.
calf sleeves
Does anyone have any experience with compression calf sleeves? I just got mine for my very modest barefoot treadmil runs. They feel good, stay comfortable, and seem to help with my poor veinous flow. One run behind me, another coming up. I don't see myself needing the benefits for long distance runners, they do feel good so far.
I have a couple pair, have only used them for recovery after a run. Never used them during a run, but you see it.
The ones I have are both 2XU.
Actually, what I wear them for more than anything is airplane rides to prevent clots, all that.
Hopefully, this is going to be cool. I'm sure several of you have read the book.
Even if you aren't into running, the story is pretty amazing. Running is actually one of the least interesting things about it, which is remarkable given his feats.
Anyone run with a dog? We recently got a dog and I've been running with her, but just a bit. She's 8 months old and I feel like I have to build up her stamina if I want to take her on any longer runs (5K+). I know she can run with me for at least a mile, at a pace that is faster than if I'm running anything longer than a mile. Any advice would be welcome.
Also, let's bump this thread as I'd like to see some updates from members about some of the stuff they were doing when they last posted in this thread.

What kind of dog?
I've had my boxer up to around 8 miles, but we really try to stick to around 5 given the anatomy of her face.
Obviously not a golfer.
Just saw this. She is a Black German Shepard/Black Lab. I've run her up to 2.3 miles. I'm usually pulling her toward the end, which is weird because even in the beginning when I'm fresh, she only has to trot to keep up with me. I do LOVE that when I do take her for a run, she just crashes for the rest of the night when we get home.
