Definitely a strong push tonight. Probably my fastest run since late January and I felt great after making me think I could have gone harder. Good confidence booster at any rate. I will have to build on this.
The run had no walk breaks and my speed alternated between 7.2 and 9 mph for 1 minute intervals – with every second 9 mph interval lasting 2 minutes in the first 10 minutes and then for the 2nd 10 minutes the second 9 mph interval would last 3 minutes. The last 10 minutes I did 1 min at 7.2 for every 2 minutes at 9 mph ending with a 3 minute 9 mph interval.
Things definitely felt good and I had lots of energy.
I have started trying the spirulina algae similar to Energybits as an experiment – had some through the day and some right before the run. I definitely had a good run tonight but it is too early to tell if the spirulina has anything to do with it at all but at least no negative impacts. I will keep a watch on how things are going to see if it becomes part of my regular routine or not.
9 miles on the schedule tomorrow!
