The little fist of fury

Good loop that I ran

Part 2 of the study that I am participating in. This time was a tougher workout than the last, they had me run 6x5min repeats at 6min/mile pace. I had two minutes rest between repeats, to switch shoes and whipe the sweat off my forehead. It was a ton of fun, I felt like Drago from Rocky 4, except for a tiny bit less buff, just a tiny bit though. 

Couple of things I found from the study: Shoes with a stiffer carbon fiber plate are metabolically more effecient for me. I also found that my VO2 was about 54 or something around there when running at 6 min pace. That doesn't tell me much about my VO2 max, but just cool to know I guess. 

It was hard to get out and run today. Even though I wasn't doing a tempo run or anything like that, I just wanted to go fast anyway. I think I will do that more, because I don't have a ton of time to run, so this is probably the best way to get somewhat decent workouts and mileage in. 

I did 4x800m repeats today. I really liked the spot where I did them (around the temple) because it was uphil for the first half of the repeat and downhill for the second. It was really good hill training.
