steady running

A 'burst' of speed

Posted by simon on 12/9/2006 on simon's blog

It's working. All this easy runnning is having its effect.

I got up at 7am (you know how much I like that, not) to run with Patty. My legs were tired from the day before (did a hill run and ran across -- literally -- the skeleton of a racoon with its head attached, but that's another story)... so I gave my legs a rub before I went out, paying particular attention to "treating" the sore points a couple of inches below my knees -- Stomach 36 acupuncture points.

I did the strongest bit of sustained speed I have done for a LONG time: It was only about a mile, but around 7, maybe just sub-7 pace in part, on ice and various other bits of gunge.
