thanks for that :-)
I will get a bit faster, but my limitation I think will be that I have really short legs, and they can only go so fast ;-)
The treadmill stuff was really useful for 'feeling' how I run and changing things and seeing how that affects my running and perceived effort.
Now I am bringing what I've learned in the gym to the road and trail. This was the first test to see if what I learned in the gym would translate to the road. And I'm glad it did :-)
The big test will be the WUU2K. you can get away with running hard for 10kms on mostly flat road, but 63kms over some steep and rough terrain is a very different story. But I do think the work I've done in the gym will help that also.
I've also been running on the beach a bit, and that works wonders to build up your strength and endurance.
