You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: eurodonkey Subject: RE: Soup to Nuts - Letsrun Train Me Body: If you wanted to do some of the longer sessions on the track, in flat shoes, for a change from the treadmill, I'd say go for it. But for shorter faster stuff (sub 5k pace, 200s/400s etc) where there is a 'springy' component and you are starting to get up on your toes, I think the injury risk will be lessened if you spend a bit longer gradually building up on hills first before you hit the track. The hill requires a range of motion and level of power similar to fast track running, but with a lot less impact. It's a very, very common pattern to start on hills and progress to track later on.
