How important is a fast cadence? Inmy 20 minute workout,I did 4 minutes worth of running with a 90 sec walk in between. First minute felt great - second minute, so so - third minute - remembered a fast cadence is really necessary, so both third and fourth minute felt awesome. I was in autopilot and overstriding - opps.
Really hot and humid here - quite interesting reading about running in the cold. We've had so much rain it's not funny and now the sun is out, so the tracks are muddy (nice squelching between the toes!!) and I'm sweating up a storm just looking out the window.
Apart from gravel, no probs today. Just realised as I was stretching that I haven't had my usual heel pain for a couple of days now. Blisters are still a bit tender, so will add an extra day off and run again on Monday.
I'm running at my lunch break, so have been fielding some really interesting comments from my work collegues, some of whom are quite accomplished runners. Let's see how things turn out, as all I can say is, 'The proof is in the pudding.' mmmmm pudding
Goals - half marathon - Run Melbourne 17 July 2011
full marathon - Melbourne Marathon 9 Oct 2011.
See you there.
