I'm learning to run again, again. With the help of my physical therapist assessing a video of my running, I learned that I have been under striding. A year ago I decided to change my running form from heel striker to mid foot striker. According to my PT, my foot strike is good, but my stride length is short. This week I tried to lengthen my stride while maintaining my usual cadence, and my speed increased. I felt unleashed!
Training This Past Week:
Mon.: 7 miles, hilly with some speed intervals; 8:47 pace
