Maybe both?
Sure.
(((((((AprilRunner))))))) Excellent eight-miler.
GOOD LUCK, MBC!!!!!!!
Robert, fantastic 4.5. I just do what I need to do. If I didn't exercise so much, my @$$ would be the size of New Hampshire.
Jay, 21.1? Are you training for another marathon?
Damaris, congratulations to DH! He's progressing very nicely. Brava on the weight and run; which body parts did you work?
I had an unexpected great trio o'workouts at the gym. Weights. An hour on the TM. Forty-five minutes on the AMT. I feel amazing, the complete antithesis of how I felt earlier in the day.
I played with the speed on the TM like this:
Mile 1 - 6.1mph (9:49)
Mile 2 - 6.2mph (9:40)
Mile 3 - 6.3mph (9:31)
Mile 4 - 6.4mph (9:22)
Mile 5 - 6.5mph (9:13)
Mile 6 - 6.6mph (9:05)
Mile .1 - 6.7mph (8:57)
Mile .2 - 6.8mph (8:50)
Mile .3 - 6.9mph (8:42)
Mile .07 - 7.0mph (8:35)
6.37 miles in 1:00:00.

Damaris
Great workouts, basya.
Sorry for you and your DH April. Too young.
10 @ 7:58 w/ 8 strides. I'll do core work after dinner. The kitchen is looking pretty disgusting right now.
10 @ 7:58 w/ 8 strides.
Strides at the end of 10? Boss.
It's something new this time around. I used to only do them at the end of Pfitz-style recovery runs. Also, get it right ... I stride like a BAUS!
When you do them at the end, do you run your 10, do strides with rests in between or jogs?
I do them near the end of the run, usually within the last 1.5 - 2 miles, with about 60-90 second jog recoveries in between. How about everybody else?
It takes me a little less than 2 miles to do 8 strides and that's with one to two minute recoveries. So if I'm running 7 miles, I begin around the 5 mile mark.
I do the same. 4 to a mile with jogging until I finish that quarter. So, I run 100m and easy until I reach 0.25.
But I have heard some people say they run the whole distance and then the strides.
Right, we all do. That covers quite a bit of distance though. So the 8 strides that I do at the end of a 7 mile run need to begin way before the end, or it would end up being a 9 mile run.
I do them mostly like you do, though I really don't bother to measure any specific distance. Mine might be a little shorter than they should be.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
I mean they do run 9 miles, yes. Which is why I got confused. I do total what Pfitz say including the strides. Some people do the whole distance easy AND then the strides.
I know there is no wrong way to do them but I have always done them the way we do.
