I have to add this - if you're planning to add running to your routine, make sure you're doing it right and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wasn't doing it right. There really is right way and a wrong one and the wrong one will give you shin splints which are a bitch. If you keep going with shin splints, you can pull the muscle out of the bone, or so a doctor told me.
Doing it the right way makes running easier, more effective, and less awful. Personally, I'm getting to the point where I enjoy it and I used to do anything I possibly could to get out of it.

Jenne:
Yeah, I'm going to add running now that I've been biking and hiking.

hm, most of that information seemed to be pretty common sense to me. although I'm already aware of my posture most of the time anyway, thanks to yoga.

the bit that's new to me came from behind one of those links, that your "stride turnover", the number of steps per minute should most optimally be 180 per minute?? that sounds like an awful lot to me. I've been running to music ever since I started (well I did before, but only with music it became any fun for me), see my mixes thread in Bring&Brag for examples, but they're all at 142-145 BPM, and I do take a step at each beat, helps me keep the pace. It's a bit of an odd suggestion anyway, since afaik, you're going for the optimal physical pendulum (rod) swing of your legs, which has a lower frequency when the legs are shorter. Also there's very few music that sounds good at 180BPM. I could speed up some of my mixes, and just try it out, see how it works, but from when I got started I found the higher BPMs didn't feel right, I actually moved back a bit from 145 to 142-143 because it felt more comfortable. But if they're right about a faster stride having less impacts on the joints, then I guess it's worth it. But really, 180BPM sounds like a fuck of a lot, I wonder if I could even keep up with that... are there any other sources quoting this number? Or maybe a table corresponding to leg length?

Juana:
I have no idea. I was more concerned when I looked that up with posture and where on your foot to land.

Find some that sound good at 90bpm?

Or ignore that bit of drivel. Sounds like someone who was brainwashed by military double time march bullshit.

But 180 is not that fast.
