Ok, I got the new insoles and tried my running shoes for a 2.1 km slow run. It was a run/walk/run not to stress the knee. I felt good, of course, I wanted to run faster and longer… but I didn’t. I will give it some time, progress slowly and focus on the biking and upper body strengthening. I felt very tired on a 2h ride (in the Gym) because I didn’t eat properly. I kept a good pace and on a harder gear and I remember thinking it will not be a peach to ride the Alps 
. But that’s OK, I am (getting) mentally prepared and am working consistently on the physical preparation. I feel like registering for my first bike challenge in Germany. I will do it this week, only after I pay the rent…
Back to the running experience, it was nice and I am feeling a bit different after Saturday, but I think last week I felt more discomfort because of the cold. This last days I sometimes didn’t even remember I had this injury but it is still too soon for celebrating.
The shoes are just awesome, they look great and that’s not even the reason I chose them, not at all. They feel really supporting and now I know what “control running shoes” are all about.
The insoles are a bit strange, they support the inner side of my feet and also the outer rim, and… they have a bump in the front part of the foot at the middle. It feels almost like having a (soft) stone in each shoe but there should be a medical explanation for it, I will investigate.
Tomorrow will start another training week, still no running plan from the PT but I have my biking plan and want also to add a 2.5 k’s run to the log. I still have no BPM graphs for the runs, I need to buy a new watch somewhere in the future.
I think I should earn it first with some sweat…
Let’s say… I will only buy the watch (when I have the money and) when I sum up 100 k’s in the running log!! Sounds good. Would only sound better if Polar would give it to me free (sponsor’s needed)…
(Edit) Have a better idea. I will run one kilometer for each Euro it will cost me… 399 kms it will be.
(Edit) Including the GPS G3 sensor the price is 499€, so… got a lot of running still to do.
