I miss my fartleks! It is all I can do to stay upright at an easy running pace, there is no way I could pick up my speeds with out sliding off the road and hitting guardrail, or going right of center as I run against traffic! Without the fartleks I just kinda lock in at an aerobic pace and put in base miles. Don't get me wrong, base miles are important but I want to feel like I am progressing, not just sustaining. Recently during an inside running workout I could not believe how much faster my pace was than it is outside. More than 30 seconds faster pace inside than out.
A week ago my training partner Dan and I went out on a day that we shouldn't have. There was just too much snow. Schools were canceled, cars were stuck everywhere, and snow plows were pushing the white stuff into monster piles. We started out but wisely adjusted our normal route for one that was slightly less perilous. We turned a six mile run into a four miler, but when we got back we felt like we had run ten. The snow was thick and deep and gave us quite a good workout.
I am going to have to cut this blog short, it is time to bag up the feet and slip on those Brooks:)
