Hamstring Treatment Day 54: 5 miles in London...

Tonight was the first night of "speed work" for the marathon training clinic. While we didn't do speed work, per se, we did all go out for anywhere from a 4 to 5 mile run. Here are my kilometre splits:
5:19
4:59
5:21
5:07
5:23
5:22
5:19
5:35
5:21 (220 m.)

The average pace for the 8.2 kilometres was 5:18, or 8:32 per mile. I could feel my hamstring -- and I was still having more trouble on the uphill sections than the flat and downhill sections, but I felt stronger than any run previously since the injury, so it was a good day.

After the run, I went out and played hockey and the hamstring was fine.
