17M double; recovery run & 10M fast and slow session
7M am recovery run at ~6.45min/M
10M pm run alternating 1M at ~7.30min/M and 2M at ~5.30min/M
Today was a semi-hard day. Tomorrow is going to be more full on.
For my evening session I alternated one mile segments run slowly with two mile segments run not far off marathon pace. It felt really good. Fast enough that I could get my teath into it. But calm enough that I had time to think about my form - something I think I should do more of. I was trying to concentrate on keeping my stride long by pushing off well rather than overstriding.
Inspired by this article in Running Times that Shaun pointed me in the direction of, I also counted my cadence. I often do this just to keep my concentration when running hard - particuarly in races - but rarely do at an easy pace. I came out with about 176/minute at easy running and 198 running hard. Pretty high. Hmm. Food for thought...
