Tempo run: Warmup mile (5 mph @ 4%). Then 5 miles where I adjusted the speed each mile: 6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.1, 6 mph. (TM @ 1.5). 1/4 mile cool down, then off to take the kids to the dentist. No time for stretching :(
This is the run that almost wasn't! I couldn't figure out why my "easy" warm up mile felt soooo sluggish, and really didn't feel like progressing into the tempo workout I had planned. Finally I looked at the display after my first mile and saw that my daughter had set the incline to 4%!! Ah ha! Setting it back to 1.5% instantly felt much much better, and I finished my run as planned - except for a quick water break, a longer pit stop, and a quick phone call. (I hate looking at all the green and red led lights on the display, so I normally keep the display covered with a piece of cardboard such that only the distance and speed settings show. I guess I should check the settings before I start running!!
