Speedwork - it's been awhile

July 28, 2011 Thursday 23 days to go.

Today was speedwork - 5 x 1 K with 2-3 minutes recovery, 10 minutes warmup, 5 minutes cooldown.

I started out on Seawalk after 5 minutes warmup - simply because that's when I arrived at the K mark. Here are my times: #1 - 5:33, #2 - 5:27, #3 -  5:29, #4 - 6:03, #5 - 5:59.
I experimented with #4 by running with my metronome at 80 cadence. It felt slow and as it turns out, it was. #5 wasn't very good and I think it was because I didn't get back to my first running cadence whatever that was.

I think I am going to have to review my cadence. I dropped it down to 80 from 85 awhile back and now I think I need to move it up again. I tried 81 and 82 during my cooldown and they felt fine, so this is something I will play with over my next runs.
