On this day:

Low-key track session,
5000m Alternating 50m strides with 50m floats (6 Miles total)


I wanted to run a low-key track session today, just to keep to a similar structure to my work weeks, but nothing that was going to put me into lactate debt. A type of workout from Kevin Beck's 'Running Strong' fit the bill perfectly - a NeuroMuscular Technique (NMT) workout, a type of session that keeps leg turnover up without the attendant battering of the body. The session went as below:

1 Mile Warmup in Nike Free 5.0's
5k of 50m stride/sprint alternated with 50m jog/float in Nike Zoom Ventulus
2 Miles Cooldown in Nike Air Pegasus 2005
6 Miles Total

My legs felt pretty darn good, especially my right knee which was completely sans ache. My lower back still felt a little tender, but it wasn't jarring with impact anywhere near as much as Sunday or Monday, so that's progress. I'm going to go the gym later to bang out some back rehabilitation & knee mechanic strengthening exercises I read about in Kevin Becks book.
