I took 4 breaks instead of 8 breaks. 2 breaks were because of hills and 2 breaks were in beginning to make sure I was warmed up.

It didnt feel much different with fewer breaks. I think ran slower on hills though. No pain and felt like i could run 2 hrs with no problem.

I'm not running very frequently because Im doing lots of hikes and am giving myself 2 day rest after major hike.
You are playing with yourself. Taking four breaks in 55" means you ran four 10-15" runs. Take a hike.
Im not sure what you mean. My lungs could easily handle 4 hour run. Im taking breaks to make it easier on my shins etc.. I think I probably should be running more minutes if I am going to take these breaks.

Thanks for the information.
BTW, what do you mean by hiking?
Is it continuous?
Is it hilly?
Are there lunch breaks?
Do you need a map and compass?
Are there any mooses or tarantulas?
Have you thought of trail running?
T.
i've done trail running in adventure races. I dont see the advantage of trails as im running on mud already.
my hikes are around 1500 metres of elevation gain with last 300 meters in snow. Im moving up to 3000 metre mtns in coming month so i will be more of a mountain climber than hiker.

It doesn't matter how high you pile it. It's still the same stuff. Not impressed.

Speaking of Galloway, there is a drill exercise in his book which is like a Rockette kick, but not meant to be high. Apart from improving turnover speed, it does some nice things for the ankle, calf and plantar fascia.
In you case, you could start with 90 second once a day, incrementing 15 seconds per week. The risk of overdoing it is that things fall apart rather than improve.
Remember, it's not the training/exercise/drills that improve and strengthen you. It's recovering from them.

Thanks. Im starting to listen to my body now. I spent 3 yrs injured and I think it was because I have unusually high mental intensity. I honestly thought I was running very slow and stuff but I do remember it always hurt to walk . It was horrible if I had to run across the street or something because it was painful.
