Lay down on the ground and put the roller under your calf. Lift up your upper body and then roll back and forth on the calf. Additionally lay on your side and do the same motion but to your IT band (on the side of your thigh). Lots of leg problems are related to tight IT bands, so it might help.I got a foam roller I don't know how to use it. My calf been getting tight after runs.
illustrayt Thanks for telling me to be more competitive and push myself. I'm so use to pacing my mile run and normally I can run that with ease in about 10-11 minutes. Taking the advice given, yesterday I challenge myself to run hard. This wasn't an easy task as when I was running my left lung felt like it shut down on me on my second lap lol. I had reduce my pace (no walking ) and I eventually finished. Despite me gasping for breath I ran a mile in 9 minute 15 seconds. Only thing is I back out of my log the wrong way and didn't save my log...
Eager to challenge myself once more this morning I got in a good stretch before running. I got in my groove and knocked out a mile in 8 minutes flat. I amazed my own self. A little under a week on this site got me pump to do better... I look forward to challenging myself from here on out. Thanks to everyone for being supportive.
I did get a chance to log time today. The app isn't the best at keeping out up with my distance as it says .08 miles but I know I've mark it for a mile.
First time posting in here

Hi NTRunning Fambs! Longtime lurker in this thread, but finally decided to join the Running family. Since the new year, Ive set a goal of running 100 miles a month and do an average of 25 miles per week. Its a tough task to do with so limited time, but so far Ive done my goal for 4 straight months. Hopefully this threads keeps giving me motivation as it has throughout the months. Add me on Nike+: h.aguilera87
