First part commute

Easy ITW - saving myself another $4.40 by getting off the train before 7:15 and running the rest of the way to work.

On another note have been listening to some physio/running podcasts while doing easy runs lately and have been getting some great stuff out of them. This morning's was particularly interesting: the physio clinician/researcher was talking about how a runners training should be around 80% easy (and by easy I mean properly easy) and 20% should be hard - all at threshold or above. I resonate with this as except for long runs all other runs I do (and I tell others to do) that aren't speedwork/threshold sessions are done EASY. The physio talked about being able to recite the alphabet with no gaps and no hyperventilating post. Also interesting was the rate of sickness is higher when doing those "medium" intensity runs more frequently - as the immune system doesn't respond as well to them as easy or hard runs.
