A beautiful track all to myself, at UNC CH, but then again, it was pouring cold rain.
Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
Bringing back my run, with a target marathon pace of 9:00 mile. This will require some work at 8:00 pace, but not yet. The next sports injury is just one little mistake away.
Where is everyone on this lovely track? Glad I wore my bike rain slicker, kept me and my iPhone (stopwatch), or is it my iPhone and I, warm and dry while I ran.
Workout:
Run: Track, 1 mile easy warmup, then 5 x 400 meters, target 2:15 - result, 2:15, 2:10, 2:10, 2:06, 2:16, with easy 400 jog back to dry clothes.
Starting to feel more solid on the run, engaging my whole body, running from center lines, lighter on my feet, but will need lots of short runs before being sure to avoid problems.

Hi,
I did 400s at the track this week as well, on Thursday. There is nothing like 400s to improve form, they are like 100s in the pool. I do drills (A/B/C/Ds each 3 sets of about 50 m) to start with, then 12 x 100 (1 relaxed speed, 1 hard), then get into the set of 400s (8 this week, it was hot!). Its nothing but a strength and form workout, and essential to running well.
