I walk to fast or run to slow
=============================

Sunday 7 June 2009 07:28

Curious about why it's so much more exhausting to
just run a bit faster I decided to do the training
lap not running, but walking in my
I-don't-know-when-my-train-leaves-but-I-don't-want-to-miss-it
speed. Then it takes 36 minutes (6.6 km/h), versus
27 (8.9 km/h) when running at a speed that makes me
think I'm gonna die, or 30 (8 km/h) when running at
a speed that tries to avoid any flatlining. So
going all analytical on this stuff I see how easy
it is to get loads of equipment and knowledge to
tune some schedule into perfection. Then it's just
one step up to adding nutrition, medication and
dope to the mix. I think I'll just stick with my
vintage pair of Nike Air Force One mid-cut
white/white's and matching Casio.
