Two miles at the gym today, and I'm happy to say that I stepped my up pace to 6.5 mph. Training continues.I forgot to mention the latest BPM revision yielded by Saturday's group run. Coach Rick gave our combined charity team (or as he calls it, the TEAM) a bunch of introductory pointers before we went for our four mile run.
Apparently, scientific research has proven that all Olympic runners--from Olympic marathoners to Olympic 100 meter dashers--run at approximately 180 steps per minute. In terms of my beloved MixMeister BPM Analyzer, that's 90 BPM. In terms of my 1990's pop/rock collection, that's "Meet Virginia" by Train.
With that new tidbit in mind tonight, I made a conscious effort to take many more smaller steps per minute than I'm used to. I think I did fairly well considering this was my first pointed effort at it, but I could use an updated playlist.
