I have noticed that when doing the shorter<br \/>\nintervals particularly anything 400 meters and below in the VFF&#8217;s<br \/>\nthis puts a bit more stress on the calves since you are on the<br \/>\nforefront of your feet &amp; toes even more.<\/p>\n<p>This took me back<br \/>\nto when I first started running in the VFF&#8217;s in September last year<br \/>\nbut of course the recovery has been quicker.<\/p>\n<p>I did a time<br \/>\ntrial with a running buddy that I work out with for track intervals<br \/>\nthis morning and it went well considering we were both leg weary from<br \/>\nthe weeks intervals plus I hit the weights hard, including the legs,<br \/>\nTuesday right after doing six 800 meter intervals.<\/p>\n<p>As we<br \/>\nwalked from the parking lot to the track I thought no way would I be<br \/>\nable to run this 600 meter followed by a 400 meter time trial even<br \/>\nafter warming up. Once we ran the trials my legs and calves felt a<br \/>\nlot more relaxed than when we got there and still do now and that was<br \/>\n0800 hours (8 AM)!<\/p>\n<p>I think running intervals in the VFF&#8217;s will<br \/>\ngive me further flexibility and push once I really start getting in<br \/>\nshape for these distances! I mean I haven&#8217;t done interval training in<br \/>\nover a decade at least and probably beyond that!<\/p>\n<fieldset class=\"zemanta-related\">\n<legend class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles by Zemanta<\/legend>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.howcast.com\/videos\/224210-How-To-Improve-Your-Running-Time\">How To Improve Your Running Time<\/a> (howcast.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.runblogger.com\/2010\/02\/npr-story-on-benefits-of-interval.html\">NPR Story on the Benefits of Interval Training<\/a> (runblogger.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/fieldset>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\" class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" href=\"http:\/\/reblog.zemanta.com\/zemified\/f11bac3b-f386-40c9-b77b-7e3bc8020b38\/\" title=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: medium none;float: right\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.zemanta.com\/reblog_e.png?w=620\" alt=\"Reblog this post [with Zemanta]\" \/><\/a><span class=\"zem-script more-related pretty-attribution\"><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been ramping up more on doing track intervals trying to increase my speed for running 800 &amp; 1500 meter events.
