Treadmill Workout:

I completed 3 quick and short interval workouts. Nordic Track has a new feature on their treadmill app which is turning out to be a game changer for my workouts. It tracks my paces for each workout. If I alter the trainers recommended pace, the machine will automatically adjust the paces throughout my workouts. This is really nice since I used to have to do this manually. My treadmill workouts are much more challenging now and are a better fit to my fitness level.

Treadmill Workout:
  • Warm-up / 2.89 / Interval Run
  • 6 x 500 with 400 recovery / 8:52 & 10:03
  • Overall Average Pace - 9:16
  • This workout also felt really good. I could have pushed myself more on the speed a touch more. I woke to snow this morning! Most of it melted by mid-morning, but then we experienced blizzard conditions for about twenty minutes late in the afternoon. Mother Nature is really messed up!
  • There are 156 days until my local marathon. I need to decide if I'm going to bump down to the half-marathon since I got into the Chicago Marathon.

Workout:

  • Weights / 45 min / Legs
  • Run / 8.02 mi / 10:30
  • I need to remember to do a leg workout after I run not before! My legs were really worn out by mile 5, but I pushed through. My splits were faster with each mile.
  • This was an encouraging run week. My pace time is improving. I am feeling and seeing improvements with my speed and tempo workouts.
