Week 4: Day 2

Ran 2.8k today at SPP (Slow Plodding Pace). I managed to pass: a couple walking! Yes.

I feel like I've regressed thanks to my poor Week 3 training. Tsk. I tried to focus on better strides this time around. I feel like if I focus on pushing off on the balls of my feet rather than putting too much weight on my heels or just pushing off with my feet very flat on the ground (.... that being a characteristic of SPP of course), it actually helps. Who knows if this is valid running theory? But it sounds good to me...

I find that I land very heavily when I run! I'm sure if I could run "lighter" that would make me faster and tire less. How, though?
