I pushed myself a little harder today and shaved 20 seconds from my last run. I started off at a faster pace (5′05″/km) than normal, feeling pretty strong but after my second lap around the park I knew I couldn’t sustain the pace so I slowed down to around (6′40″/km). The last .50km was pretty rough since I was starting to get a slight side stitch and I had to really push myself to finish. I still think my form is pretty bad. It’s worse when I start to get tired. I can feel my shoulders hunching forward and I have to force myself to keep my head up and back straight. I’m also running the first 2km entirely on my forefoot trying to adjust to the Pose-style of running but I’m not able to sustain the technique much more than that.
