Had a great run after the rain tonight - ran 8 miles with 9 fast strides in the mix. It was quite cool out tonight, but after a couple of miles, I was sweating and opening up my jacket to cool off a bit. I ran .1 mile strides at speed tonight, which was fun... rising up onto the balls of my feet, pushing hard, pumping hard, flying' down the path, then easing off, back to an easy pace for .5 mile before speeding up again. I did that 9 times, with the average pace for those strides being 5:43. It felt great to run fast tonight, to avg under 8 for the whole run, and to have a low avg HR too. :-)

    Nice workout, how do you like the Saucony Kinvara? Are they minimalist?

    The Kinvaras are great! They are a neutral, 4mm drop very light shoe - so yes, most people would classify them as a minimalist or at the very least, a shoe to transition into more minimalist shoes. :-)
