Heart Rates seem to be about 10bpm lower than last week for same workout. I did notice HR is lower for short, choppy strides rather than long 'power' strides. Must be less effort to run uphills with short strides (perhaps analagous to Armstrong blowing Ullrich away on Alpe de Huez with fast cadence on climbs?) Faster 1/4's at end to stretch out muscles and stride.

Odd twinge in bottom of right foot - outside middle of foot.
