Another short run tonight. It's a good thing that I'm doing an easy week right now, so that I can put some effort into fixing my running form, after the correct diagnosis by my swimming coach. I've been doing some of the POSE drills before the runs, and following each up with a set of strides, and during the runs, I'm focusing on good form, a quick turnover, and a slight forward lean. My cadence is around 190 spm (at 7.2 mph), so I might need to find a way to slow that down, or else I'll be over 200 spm at race speeds, which is getting into the inefficient ranges.
I don't know if I'll have this ready for the race this weekend, so I'll probably end up in my normal stride, at least in the last few km's when I'm tired. I'll keep working on this and should be straightened out by September. Maybe this is what I need to get to the sub-39 10k, sub-1:25 half that I'm gunning for.
Run: 3 miles @ 7.2 mph + 4 strides
