10 miles with strides

No run yesterday! Last planned rest day until the day after London Marathon.

So back on it today. The legs felt nice, as they should after three easy or rest days in the last four. After a rare lie in it was back up to my favourite trail (a disused railway line) for 10 miles with 10 sets of strides.

Strides are just 100m sprints where you accelerate to almost flat out pace and then try to hold good relaxed running form for the rest of the distance. They are supposed to improve your running economy and get your legs moving fast.

And that was today. Should be having some fun tomorrow.
