Base run – 2.93 miles, avg pace 8:49mile/min

A slight issue with my Garmin tonight! I stopped it to do some stretches after a mile, and then forgot to restart it again until after another half mile. Oh well! So the above distance isn’t exactly right!

I’ve been doing some form drills at home the last couple of nights, mainly running on the spot to ingrain the feeling of forefoot/midfoot footstrike and landing below my centre of gravity. So tonight I stopped running a couple of times, and then ran on the spot for a couple of seconds before starting to run again. This really hammered home the right feeling to me. It felt good running too. My right calf was a bit tight, so I’ve iced it tonight, and the achilles are bit tight too, so I’m hoping I’ll be OK in the morning.

I also managed to run most of the run at a cadence of 176 a minute – which may explain the faster average pace.
