I just went out for another cheeky once-round-the-block, totally BF this time, and really tried to 100% concentrate on my form. I tend to twist my feet slightly if I push off at all and that results in some pretty gnarly blisters on the balls of my feet and a couple of my lower toes. So when I was running, I was thinking of all the stuff I need to do, particularly concentrating on lifting my legs with my quads and letting my feet whip up behind me, not to mention 3 steps a second etc. Anyway, the point of the story is that when I do all this shit, I end up flying along. I'd like to be able to run at anything between 5:00-6:00/km for training and particularly BF conditioning, but I was at around 4:30/km or lower This may sound awesome, but it's a pain, because I know I can't sustain that pace for 10km or more. If I slow myself down, I either drop to ~150 cadence or feel myself pushing off.
Any tips?
