Treadmill Run: I decided to do a softer run (lower impact) on the treadmill, it was also an opportunity to give the dog a break. She has been looking tired recently and moving a little slow. I guess like the rest of us she has to ease into running.
Now softer today did not mean easier, just a more forgiving surface and my treadmill shoes. I did a progression run working my way up to 9 mph (6:40 pace) and then back down. Started with a long warm up then into the meat.
- 3 mph – 4 min
- 5 mph – 3 min
- 6 mph – 3 min
- 6.5 mph – 3 min
- 7 mph – 3 min
- 8 mph 3 min
- 9 mph – 1 min
- 8 mph - 1 min
- 7 mph - 1 min
- 5 mph 2 min
- 3mph - 2 min
This was a hard run for the treadmill but good pacing and felt great afterwards. I am finding that the treadmill makes these pace workouts easier to do as there is less of a mental struggle to hold the pace.
Great run 3 miles, 25 minutes. YAY
