On the right track . . . maybe?

Well I think it's maybe going rather well.  I have tried to adopt this new running technique and gradually and in 'fits and starts' I seem to be getting it and it feels ok although I do now have aches in some very different places.  I have been racking up the pace to my target 9.7 km an hour for one minute at a time.  This is ever so slightly under a 10 minute mile and I really don't think I am going to go very much faster.

Tonight I managed to do 5 km's in 40 and a half minutes, I did 14 of those minutes at 9.7, the rest between 6 and 6.5.  This was a big improvement on yesterday and I'm going to try and keep doing more and more at my target speed, using my new technique until I can do the whole 5 km's at 9.7, should take me around 33 minutes!.
