Kenyan progression session

Working the endurance system while adapting to a faster pace through running faster and faster within each 3 min, Marius Bakken
1 min 6.48 pace-1 min- 6.10 pace-1 min 5.44 pace-2 mins easy x 6
I've been doing my fast sessions in the dark, I kind of find it more exciting and if I go out at about 7 pm there are no cars on the back roads to get in my way.
I loved this session short and sweet, the hardest part was running at 6.48 pace, once I upped the pace the momentum made my legs flow round and everything smoothed out.
I added some hilly loops to give my legs some fast downhill running, before finishing on flatter roads'.
It was much warmer than Wed and I broke out into a nice sweat under my thermal jacket, i took off my gloves and found I was running really well.
GOOD FUN SESSION :] = 38 mins

That session is exactly like a session thats in the Burn the fat book, I have done that session years ago its really good isnt it, hard but good.... nice work out Rick. Love the video too, I run mid/forefoot ! and do barefoot training on the beach in the summer

Running on the beach barefoot to strengthen the feet and ankles sounds like a great idea, yeah might try that in the summer, think my toes would get frost bite if I tried that now!!!

Yes I liked the session and if it speeds up my metabolic rate and burns fat all the better:]

I've been eating fresh veg and fruit at work and lost a few pounds but my target 10 st 10 lb still seems a long way off, think i'm 11 st 4 lb right now. Ryan Hall at same height as me is only 10 st 0 lb.

ok thanks for the comments, happy running this weekend and lets hope for no more snow!
