Another Taper
A nice easy four-mile run, just to keep the body moving. We three went to the club and ran on the indoor track - weather outside was a bit misty and sloppy. No problems, breathing was easy at four and even five footfalls per full breath throughout. It’s a masterpiece.

I've never counted my footfalls per breath but I have always meant to since I read (awhile ago) that you do. 4 or 5 sounds like rapid pace to me. Glad (I hope) your nagging injury bugs are behind you for now.
ReplyDeleteGive it a try. For me five footfalls per full breath is an easy pace, four is a faster pace suitable for a half marathon or a marathon, and three is a 5k pace.
ReplyDeleteInjury-free at the moment, thank you!
