Into the wissahickon park last night for another stride workout. 8 miles with 10x100m strides. The last time I ran this workout I ran hard for 45 sec intervals but I realize that this a little to long if I am running at mile pace and cut back to 35-40 second intervals this time around.

After 1.5 mile warm up I hit the split, run hard for a time, wait for the lap on my watch to read 3:00 and then hit the split again and repeat. 8 miles is almost the perfect distance to run this workout. The intervals fit nicely into 5 miles and it left me 1.5 miles to finish up at the end. It also makes the time pass quickly as you are always anticipating the next interval.

8+ miles in 60 minutes.
