Faster Steps At Last

Back to physio Susie today and apparently my SIJ and pelvis are as squarely aligned as any textbook - phew!She gently told me that whatever training I had been doing now had to be intensified (bit hard to go back from 10min/km walking pace!).OK, so I have been taking things super cautiously but I am sick and tired of false starts to this running caper!
31deg in Sydney today and I couldn't give a stuff - it was time to step things up a bit and try the run/walk (really walk/walk/run/walk/walk)thing.Man, it was good to see the pace on the Forerunner hit 5min/km again (even went under a few times)!It's obvious and heartening that my style has changed a bit :much more upright,arms feel as though they are moving a helluva lot,breathing is a conscious effort now as most of my concentration is on the lower abs and glutes.In all it felt tight and fast and strong - exactly as I had hoped.
No way am I going to rush it though - keep taking it easy and maybe make next month's Striders 10km where I will finish last in the handicap but I will finish.
