Felt out of my comfort zone leg-speed-wise, but I'm pretty happy as my right knee was completely pain free! I guess that's the power of a day off. My form looked worse when I was trying to run beyond my sensible limit (i.e. below 32 seconds), but apparently it has improved on the whole. The arm action looks more compact and the overstriding is less evident. I'm looking forward to the Wargrave now; if I'm improving in the stuff I dislike God knows how its affecting the aspects of running I enjoy! The 10k will be a good testing ground. Further good news cam from Barry today- I'm allowed to put an afternoon recovery run into my Saturday's schedules now my niggles are clearing up. Cool-beans...
On the topic of equipment, the Eldoret's were to big - it was more like 1.5 inches of spare toebox! I've got rid of them now, as I'm happy with the Ventulus as a spike for now(plus they're cheap as chips!). It's more of a relaxed feel you get from them, as they don't put you on your toes as much. Having said that, for my present action they're an ideal 5k-10k spike, as they do have some cushioning in the heel (courtesy of Zoom Air) , but they're still lighter than my Mayfly's. I might order some Eldoret's in a UK 8.5 sizing, just to convince myself theres no way I can wear a pair of them! Show/Hide this post [+/-]
