I tried the new cadence on the 4x1 run. Wow! This is crazy. I am 3-5 BPM on the heart rate more efficient, and the 12.5 isn't particularly hard any more. 12.8 was a bit hard but I could have finished, instead at .75 I dropped back for 60 seconds to 7.0 and then did 14.0 for .25. No problem. This could be significant. I might actually try hard at Boston :)

Run to and from the gym + 1.6 on the TM to make up 4, a little hill stride at the end like usual

Fun six mile run in the neighborhoods, I really felt like I was getting fast at the end, probably should have taken the watch :)

Wow Wow Wow!

The new stride pattern is for real. I nuked my tempo record on the 100 ft aided course today. I broke my 5K record in the middle by 10 seconds - on a tempo run! 4.5 miles at 5:45 avg, 17:22 5K at the beginning (first mile is aided, last 1.6 miles is uphill)

Splits were 5:14, 5:41, 5:48, 6:12, 6:00 for .5 pattern is down, flat, flat, up, up

Now I should try the secret weapon with the new stride :)

I was really feeling it on my last long run before Boston - I ran up the canyon with the crew and then Tony, Jacob and myself turned around at 10K. We were going to temp at whatever pace felt comfortable but I got a resonance with the new stride pattern and was dipping down to the low 5s with ease. Fastest mile was 5:28, as I slowed up and waited for the guys. Tony made us burn it at the end down to 4:45 for a tenth or so. Great way to cap off training, now just having an easy rest week after calves and squats and hill repeats on Monday.
