I had a run which was dominated by my legs today, that might sound weird because well its only the legs that are involved in running, right? Well sorta, kind of, not really. There is a lot that goes on when you’re running, like how your body feels and how your breathing might be hindering you or how badly you slept last night. It could be a cramp, for a strain or an irritation that dominates your run. Sometimes its the mind that takes you all the way, sometimes its the weather and a happy though. Equally, these can all turn on you and a bad thought or a problem, emotional or personal can dominate the run and affect you.

Anyway, thankfully, none of this was happening today, only my legs were powering me along. They were strong, I could feel them rebound with every stride and I would shift a lot of weight onto my quads say uphll or even on the straights(I’d lean a bit back but not much) and they would like a tractor just plough on up. remarkable really. I noticed all this because, I wasn’t particularly nimble on my feet today but i was doing well because of the quad action taking place.

It must be said that quad exercises and hills and well leg training in general really help strengthen them legs and really help on days like this. 

I did feel however that this morning was a bit tough on the legs for some reason but they pulled through.
