A good 60 minute run this morning. With no real intention of going quicker, I managed to reach last weeks 1 hour marker with a minute to spare at precisely the same average heart rate. Yippee.
Was passed by a chap who steamed past me and I felt very inadequate, although once past me he didn’t pull away and I kept him 20 yards ahead without too much difficulty. I wish I didn’t rise to the bait. It’s my run not anyone else’s.
With all of the reading about running form today I was concentrating on:
– Head up looking 200 yards ahead
– Arms with elbows at 90degreees but relaxed shoulders
– Foot striking more towards my toes rather than my heal
I experimented with shifting the foot strike more towards the heel it felt heavier and potentially more painful, it definitely made more noise.
It will be interesting to see how this affects me tomorrow. I am guessing that my calves will ache and perhaps my feet. Finished of the day with some free weights, nothing Arnie, just maintenance really.
