What a difference 15 hours makes.
7.18 miles / 0:57:47 / 8:03 A.P. / Provo River Trail
My only plan with today's run was to run with improved form--shoulders back and hips forward--not the slogging I've done for, like, forever. I took shorter strides and tried to ensure my foot strike occured underneath me rather than out in front, which, I hope, created more of a fore/mid-foot strike rather than the heel strike I've grown accustomed to. Without any perceived increase in effort I seem to have knocked off 15 seconds (average) per mile from Monday's PRT run.
FYI: Unskinny Bop by Poison has an awesome rhythm/beat that made the shorter strides easier. |
