My first fartlek run. Upped the pace to 7:38 at one point, and THAT felt really good. Happily no knee or leg problems, though I did experience some friction tenderness on my left sole. Felt a bit of little torque on that side, maybe from yesterday's tweaked, one-legged squat. Hot and humid this evening -- like running through a sauna. Heart rate and lungs sure felt it (avg HR 164bpm, max HR 181bpm.)
Nice work Chris.

Good run considering the less than ideal conditions.

Thanks, fellas. I'm trying to "start over" with weekly road running mileage (but cautiously extend the rare, exuberant trail runs!)

Nice #s for pace and HR considering it was hot! Needed to read this post to help me "man up" with bf speed work. I am still putting on the minimals for speed work and not proud of it :-(

I think the starting over is a great idea!!! I hope that sole is just in a mood today is all. Great run Chris! Are you going to do the 10% increase or?

Michele, thanks! My decreased mileage from the injury rest has resulted in a slight pussification of my soles. Got a nice little blister to show for it. Diana, these past few runs I've just been adding a five minutes per run. want to get to 50-60min midweek sessions in time.
