IMG-20121020-00026.jpg

Feel bad for the 21 players on BYU's team who played their hearts out in South Bend today. Shame is that there are 5 QB's better than the one on the field: one at Kansas, one in the hospital and 3 on the bench.

BYU - 14
Notre Dame - 17

Easy roll on this roll, damp morning. A guy doing intervals kept passing me then falling back. I was trying to figure out what his routine was - time- or pace-based - but couldn't ever determine what he was up to.

Lakefront to Office 5x2 min. Intervals

 

Summary

Name Lakefront to Office 5x2 min. Intervals
Location Chicago, IL
Start Time 10/17/2012 6:49 AM (UTC-05:00) Category My Activities:Running
Distance 8.23 mi Time 01:08:00.0
Time Moving 01:08:00.0 Stopped 00:00:30.0
Average pace 08:15 min/mi Max. pace 05:14 min/mi
Weather Clear; 59.0 °F
Calories 1032 kCal
Notes OBJECTIVE
8 mi. including 5x2 min.@7:05 w/2 min. active recoveries

I hit each of the intervals but realize now that I left the recoveries open-ended rather than keeping them to 2 minutes each. By doing so I probably cheated myself out of some of the benefits of the this run.

Legs felt a bit stiff or inflexible; just not fluid.

Counted my stride rate during reps 3 and 5. Ended up ~190 per minute.
