Had a great couple of runs this week with the Nitros. Both were challenging and left me quite zapped at the end of it. Zapped is good.
On Tuesday, I joined the group for my dreaded flyover repeats. I dread these for two reasons. 1. because the first time I attempted these, I injured the peroneal tendon on my right foot and that injury took about 3 months to fully heal. 2. well because they're tough! :-)
Flyovers are the city runner's solution to hill repeats. Running on inclines are a good way to build stamina and they're also strengthening. We did a warm-up run upto the cathedral road flyover and 4 stretches across & back along the flyover by which time I was totally done and jogged / walked back to haddows park. Ofcourse the pace suffers a bit during these runs but as long as the form doesn't, its totally ok.
This morning I joined them again at SDAT. Ran 6 fast 200 meter stretches. I felt like I really pushed myself and the timing was super! Managed an average time of 52 seconds per round. I don't think I've ever seen my pace at sub 4'00" before. So yes, giving myself lots of pats on the back.
Going away on a holiday today. So this would be my last run for the week. Unless I decide to do some barefoot beach running. :-) I am looking forward to lots of swimming though!
