PRE + Fairmount MInutes Fartlek

January 16, 2018 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: mid 40s, nice

Comments:
Treated some folks in the AM, then did a fartlek tempo. Knowing what I need to work on -- THE HINGE -- I figured a high-rep tempo would be easier to stay focus and execute.

Jogged from the office to PRE, did a few strides, then got after it. Felt a little asthmatic-allergen'd, but no matter.

1-2-3-4-5-5-4-3-2-1 "on", with 1:00 jog rest. Wore my normal watch so I have next-to-no idea of my paces. Doesn't matter.

Ran the PRE loop, crossed Knickerbocker, and ran east into Glenwood on the first 5-minute, then back, via Fairmount.

MAJOR focus on THE HINGE: that "running through a 5'10" tunnel". MAJOR glute burn when I do that, and everything else is easier:

- knee drive
- pawback
- stride width
- whole foot strike

For the latter, I still focused on that, a lot, since it tends to mitigate any ankle soreness. It felt pretty good today.

It all was hard, but a good workout.
