Out on the roads for 8km, practised forefoot striking and kicking heels up, found a good rhythm and for once it felt quite natural. Until about 5km that is, when the calf burn kicked in, but I persevered. Good stuff.

Bob! Dec 2007 6:09pm, 12 Dec 2007 401 posts	Quote Pin Bob! copied from 'Heart Rate' thread ********************************* What's going on here then? EP has new legs, I reckon I've found a new heart! This is my 4th week of doing Parker sub 70's after a short (3 week) rest from running. My standard sub 70 run is 6 miles. My first on the 18th November was done in 1.04.04 at 10 .41 pace, every subsequent 6 miler has been quicker. 19/11 1.02.58 10.30 pace 23/11 1.00.22 10.04 pace 25/11 59.46 9.58 pace 27/11 59.26 9.54 pace 01/12 58.13 9.42 pace Today I done another 6 miler, splits were 10.08 ( I still get HR spikes for the first 3/4 mile every time!), 8.33 !!, 8.50 !!, 8.57, 9.07, 9.03 so, 54.44 @ 9.07 pace what is going on!! I'm running faster at sub 70% than when I used to 'go out for a run' admittedly I've been watching my weight and have lost 16lbs in the last 8 weeks, but I had already lost more than half of that when I started the Parker method.
