Not suprisingly, I felt stale this AM. I did an easy 10 (80 minutes). And yup, it is cold enough that the facial hair (it is not a beard, it ain't a mustache) was frosted over. I tried to focus a bit on turnover ... still coming in at 88.

It is interesting that today you mention turn-over. That is another thing I have really worked on this past year - even to the point that on my summer afternoon runs on the treadmill I had a metronome clicking to help me establish the rythm. The most effective thing however, was barefoot grass striders on a slight decline. Working with these tools I increased my stride rate from 84 to 87. Hopefully I can get this slow gate sped up to close to 90 someday!

Dave - I get the 88s when I am thinking about it on slow runs. They seems to come a bit more easily on harder workouts (I have had my daughter count when I am doing intervals on the mill and it is right at 88). I think when I am not paying attention it will drift down to 83 or even lower :(
Sounds like you are atuned it - listen to: http://www.triathletemag.com/Assets/Podcasts/Triathlete_Mag_Podcast_Jan15_2008.mp3
