My fourth week of the interval running mixed with pull-ups, and this time I added SL DLs (bodyweight) at each 5 minute interval.  So it was run 5 mins, SL DLs 4/4, run 5 mins, P/Us x 5, did this for a total of 4 times so about 40 minutes of running, 16/16 for the SL DLs, and 20 P/Us.  Some observations.  This is the most powerful I have felt running in, man, I have to say, - ever?  I felt both extremely light on my feet but also very powerful.  I was running faster than I have in a long time, and kept that pace for all of the intervals.  I could feel my glutes kicking in as well as quads, and my arms were also helping.  I am not quite sure what to make of this though I think the recent chiropractic work is just what the doctor ordered, removing / helping some of the restrictions I was feeling for awhile.  No issues in the ankles or feet at all this time either.  I think this is an excellent distance for me, if I can turn these into sprints (maybe even decrease the intervals to 3 minutes of near sprinting?) I think that would be cool.  I liked adding in the SL DLs, this is a good movement for me.  They were tough - not easy to do these in between running.  But I feel like they helped the running.  Also the pull-ups were very strong.  A light week on the KBs leading up the weekend also probably helped.
