The Running Diva

My morning started out with a 30 minute spin on the trainer…nothing too exciting to report. I didn’t have time to sing this morning…grrr…

I met LeRoo at the UVic track after work. We were to do 8 x 200m (quick) with 90″ then a 4 minute rest followed by a 10 minute tempo run at a good clip. My strides felt decent before the 200s which were 35-34-34-33-33-34-33-33. I focused on my form, a light, fast turn-over, running tall etc. They all felt pretty consistent effort-wise. Brent and Baloney joined us on the last few so they really kept us on pace…thanks guys! It was nice having the longer breaks making it easier to focus on running well…just what I need to do right now since my form has been sucking lately.

I tried to transfer the quick and light feeling I had on the track to the 10 min interval. LeRoo and I ran around Ring Road, sticking to the actual road instead of the sidewalk so we didn’t have to worry about footing. I think we ran it a bit quicker than 15km pace (sorry Matty) but it felt pretty smooth and even.
