30 minutes weights
8 miles on the treadmill. I attempted speedwork again since yesterdays attempt was an epic fail. Today was much better. I didn't push it too hard at all but my next race on the schedule is a 10k so I wanted to get some quick turnover going.
6x800 at 6:11-6:15 pace with equal recover
1x400 at 6:07 pace
1x200 at 5:58 pace
Overall AP was 7:25. This was a good workout. My only issue with speedworkk is that my hamstrings are always sore afterwards. I think it is because I am lengthening my stride and I am wondering if this is normal? Should my stride stay the same when I run faster or is it normal to lengthen the stride.
As I become a more experienced runner I am trying to pay more attention to my stride and form and this thought came up today. |
