Light Post Run


Laura, Steph, Becki and Sandra ran from my house towards Humber Bridge and back two Thursdays ago. We ran surges. Using the lamp posts as markers, we increased our speed to 80% effort between one light post and then easy between the next post. We did about 10 east and then 6 on the way home. Coming back we would run hard for 2 lamp posts and 1 lamp post easy. These ladies are strong runners and pushed themselves to the point of discomfort. Laura said she would never think of it on her own, but enjoyed the intensity. The girls all agreed it was very challenging, red faces and suppressed barfing occurred. The intensity meant that we could spend less time doing cardio and more time stretching.
