did some strides today, 10x100m during my run. I used Brent's method of measuring 100m - 35 steps on my left foot. Not sure if it's accurate or not, I'll have to test it on a track. It seemed to me that it was shorter. Of course, my 35 steps are probably shorter than Brent's since he is in much better shape now than I am! Although once I did my stride from one parking meter to the next one, and it was exactly 35 steps. I'm just not sure what is the distance between the meters, so it was no help, I just thought it was odd how it matched exactly. Garmin was running out of battery, so I tried not to bother it with unnecessary splits and display lighting. So I didn't really now my pace, but I didn't feel great, tired and my legs were tight. I thought I was running slower than on Monday. But I was surprised to see that my time was actually faster! One of those runs when you feel slow but actually run faster than you think.
Total time: 1:01:42 (8:41 pace).
