Started at the East track and did Shriner's run out and back. 8:24 average. Then stretched, did a couple strides and did a 400. I hit another 79! It felt all out again lol.

I think that my legs are weak. I think that's why running is so rough for me right now. I know I could go faster, I have the speed, it just doesn't feel comfortable. And feels not very smooth when I try, like my legs are weak. But that's probably the funk I need to get out of, running shouldn't feel comfortable all the time. It's hard to push myself when I'm alone.

An idea is some days instead of doing one 400, do 10x100 targeting about 20 seconds on each with as long of a rest as you need to keep the pace. This will give you some volume and thus more high-speed form practice hopefully without wearing you out.
