Ran 5 miles (8:00) from home to the Rec Ctr with a nice gradual uphill. Did a little strength routine of strict pull-ups and bar dips. Then I ran another 5.5 miles on the TM at an 8:00 pace(7.5mph). Cathy and the kids joined up with me at the rec ctr. We did a hamburger binge at the Carls Jr after my TM run.
I did an experiment on the TM. I heel striked one mile and I was almost dead on with 8 minutes on an 8 pace. But when I switched to toes strike on the next mile, I knocked off 10 seconds per mile at the same pace. I did this twice each time to make sure. The things we do to keep ourselves entertained on the TM.
This afternoon I ran 3 miles easy (8:35) with Cathy and Kristal... Mostly downhill.. |
