I ran out to Mini GU via canal road and I was really frustrated with the way I was feeling so as I was running I decided to try and watch my form and I couldn't beleive that I wasn't moving my upper body much at all so towards the end of my 3rd mile I decided to just let it all go and start really working with my upper body along with my legs. What a surprising effect, everything just started to flow together and I thought how easy the running was, so the next mile I really started to work on my form and the next mile was an easy 8:14, and then the next mile was 8:27 and then the last mile was 8:24... They were all sub 8:30 which is my usual training pace, I couldn't freaking believe it! All this time my upper body was restricting my lower body and so it was making it difficult to run. I will try it again tomorrow and see how I do, my average pace was 8:49 with a total time of 53:39. The first 2 miles were 9:30 and 9:20 and then the 3rd mile was 9:04, and I was really flowing good the rest of the way. I hope I have finally broke through and I hope this is the answer, talk about a crazy thing!
See ya tomorrow.
