February 16th & 17th, Thursday & Friday
Seeking a little more pace in my training, I set out for a shorter, quicker run today. The result was 2.75 miles in 30 minutes with 4 x 180 Stride Per Minute (SPM) pickups of 30 seconds. That is 90 strides in 30 seconds. The objective is to gradually increase the distance at which to run this 180 SPM pace until I can sustain it for 1500 meters. I have not tried to run that cadence for more than one minute yet. I am getting more comfortable at it. This usually results in sore legs the next day. So today was a day for recovery.
