Today I completed a pretty basic 6k run on my usual route. It was interesting because I usually have a slower time running in the snow, but today I was "moving". The amount of effort I made was such that my right hamstrings probably weakened a bit--you can tell this because you'll feel it in the knees. So naturally I did 60 squats and 20 lunges after downing a protein shake. Always remember that you need to build leg muscle if you want to have sustained speed without damaging your hamstrings catastrophically.
Anyway, things are going better than expected as I prepare for the 2016 Saskatchewan Marathon--so much so that I am closed to registering for a few tune-ups (namely the Hypothermic Half Marathon in February).
