Total Distance
18.00

I had to bend the circle a little. I decided to switch my Friday and Saturday workouts because of travel. Guys I live a bend but don't break policy. 

I went out 9 miles and then back the same way. Around Middleton and up along the GS circle  until the trail that goes up to the new overpass and then from there I took the road up to Grapevine until I was at 9 miles.

Out in 1:13:06 - Back in 1:01:56

This is a very hilly run up and down the whole way with a total ascent of 400ft on the way out and then the same descent on the way back. Anyways it was a good run. I was out to the turn-around before the sun came up and the desert is just amazing that early in the morning. It really changes from heaven to hell in about 2 hours...

I hit some kind of tempo pace effort on the last 5 but not much faster than 6 min pace. During the last mile I did my strides.

You broke the circle of trust. You just wanted the glory of the mileage board to yourself for a day.

elementary question? What are Strides?

From Clay on Fri, Aug 01, 2008 at 14:31:09

Nice workout Clyde! Wow, you guys really do amaze me with the mileage you do everyday... Awesome!

Cgbooth23- Strides are just a mild sprint for 100m. So guys call them striders- In college we just called them strides. Something to get the legs flowing at a little faster pace. But not an all out sprint.

thanks for the info... how many do you usually do in a workout? I usually pick up my pace a few hundred yards from where I am going to finish to get a good push in at the very end, should i work some Strides in throughout a run?

From Superfly on Sat, Aug 02, 2008 at 23:25:05

Yeah it's a good idea. Most of the time I do 6x100m strides and actually prefer to finish a run and then do these as their own little thing. If I were you I'd just try working in some Farleks during the second half of your workouts 2 or 3 days a week.

Thanks for the advice, i shall try it!
