Workout: Treadmill (loathing the weather)

  • 10 minute warm-up / 9:44
  • 5 x 8 minutes at a challenging pace / 8:10
  • with 3 minute steady recovery / 9:34
  • 10 minute cool-down / 9:44

Thoughts:

  • The first 8 minutes was difficult to run. After the 3 - minute recovery, I hit my stride. It was a challenging pace for me to maintain. I increased my pace just slightly for the final 8 minute round.
  • By the afternoon, my quadriceps were sore and tired. It could have been the workout or it could have been the 5 hours of hiking in the snow that I did yesterday.

Cross Training:

  • 45 minutes spinning
  • 45 minutes Pound class

I don't run treadmills. But, the impression I get from those that do is that if you spend much of the time pushing buttons (changing pace / incline), it is regarded as a better run. This looks like you pushed enough buttons! Good job!
