Tonight was my second week of speedwork. These sessions always beat the snot out of me, so I can only handle once a week, and only for a few weeks. Speedwork on the run is a lot tougher than on the bike. I end up feeling it in my muscles and joints for at least a day or two, every time.
But, it pays off. Big time.
Everything gets faster when you're doing intervals. Your stride will get smoothed out, you have to hold good body position or you'll breakdown. Turnover gets faster, stride length increases. All these things will carry over to slower paces as well.
And it's fun. At least until the next day.
Run: 8 miles, w/ 9x2 min sub-5k pace, 3 min recovery
