New +75 training concept.  Protecting the old legs.

Ran 2.6 miles in 31 minutes.  In the last mile I ran 6  x 60 second SS of 150 strides  with 60 seconds quick walk recovery.  This procedure is constant with my recent inclination to believe that quick SS interspersed with quick walking is superior to continual slow running.  This provides for quicker muscle firing and fewer running foot strikes over the elapsed time.  My experience with this procedure has  been that, as my legs remain quick and fresh, my heart rate remains steadily elevated suggesting a positive effect on aerobic conditioning as a bonus.
