You looked good in the race photos: in case you haven't already seen, the link is http://www.zazoosh.com/events/178

Uphill sprints so soon after the race? That foot of yours must be feeling a little better. Nice workout.

Well, I didn't run the race much faster than I run a Sat. long run, so I figured I might as well do some mild speed work. I am keeping it easy all week though. No tempo runs or track work.

Hey Rhett, how is the pain in your foot? I sure hope it's getting better.

Yeah, it's really fun looking at the race pictures. I don't like mine, though. Some of them look like I'm barely moving. LOL.

I never like the race photos... maybe I can pay somebody to photo shop my thighs... Anyway I am glad you are back to doing some speed work but you are going to do more this month right... I think you meant speed work for the week.

Nice hill sprint tagged onto the recovery run. Sounds like the foot is letting you ease back into training.

PK,

About what grade of hills do you generally do sprints on ... and how long are they as well. I need to start doing those.

Kathie,

I hate all my race pictures too ... I think there should be a way to disable other users to see them. (although I don't want anyone else to be able to disable theirs ... I want to see those ones!)

Teena, it depends, but when I do them at the end of an easy run I usually do 10 sprints at about a 5% grade for 10 to 15 seconds each and then recover for 45 to 50 seconds. I start a sprint at the top of each minute.
