We did speed work at the Masters Swim today.

I tested out walking at a cadence of 90. I was not very happy with the test. The first loop around Kendrick was approximately a 13 minute pace. But, I couldn't even sustain that for the second loop. In order to maintain the cadence I have to shrink my steps to a point that I ended up taking more than 15 minutes on the next loop.

Later in the afternoon I took Zen out for a walk and did another test around the lake. I just walked as fast as I could at whatever cadence resulted. I maintained about a 15 minute pace.

I think what I will test next is seeing if I can maintain an easy 12 minute jog pace and minimize the toll that running was taking on my body.
