"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

But it got done
This was good but hard. Didnt set out to try to break or even duplicate last weeks speed fest but the first mile was FAST so I went for it and left tib was ok til it wasnt and I had to shake it out around 1.5. Technique was solid but I was just a bit fatigued from everything
But cannot complain about the times and two miles at 29:26 was a PR
This was strong and controlled. Best 190 I can remember, just like the 180
This was very strong. A bit mentally distracted but I worked through it
THIS IS JUST INSANE!~
After Wednesdays 9 second PR on my three mile time as I headed out this morning I thought if I could get under, or even close to, my five mile PR of 14:38 I'd be happy but this?
ECSTATIC
I knew I had to get a mid 15 min pace for the first mile then stay close to my lap times for the 14:40 I've done before but I didnt expect this
First time under 15 min miles for all five
First time under 1:13 for five
Two mile pr under 29 min
Three mile PR 43:18
But by left tib did start to congest around here and I was very concerned I wouldnt be able to hold pace
Lean Fall Plant was working but the lean seemed to load the tib at this pace
Solved it by leaning a bit less and making the arm swing more about the. back swing then the drive forward.'
Seemed to balance out the COM off my tib. Shook my legs out and it was fine the last 2 miles, obviously
Also make my steps even shorter but faster
Amazing day
This was strong. Making sure I keep my big toes planted on descent keeps my legs in the lift much better and way less back
Height was solid
Wow. I had thought this pace was possible for me but given how far away 14:38 has seemed the last month I thought that perhaps it wasnt
But really hyper focused on LEAN FALL PLANT technique it just happened
For a hot second I actually I'd make 14:30 lol!
The other technique problem solved was stride length. I SHORTENED my front stride and actually tried to plant slightly BEHIND my COM after the pushoff .
So lean fall plant and bring the heel strike under me quickly AND lean from the rear leg big toe ( not the waist) this prevents bending from the waist
What an experience!
Hot too-83 or so- but didnt bother me at all
