MAP test today, - Very pleased with my fitness level. 6 miles 41:02 total. 6min/mi for 4 miles at 2% incline. HR-142-146 avg. 70 degrees farenheit. On the treadmill. 6:30/ pace felt very easy.

PM-5 miles easy with 3 miles at MP pace. No time, just had fun doing speed and pace changes.

Steve:

Nice job on Saturday. I ran with Bob yesterday and he said you are looking strong. I'm glad the training is paying off.

What protocol do you use for your MAP testing? Do you have a web resource?

Keep running strong.

I wish I could say I have a very specific protocol like the Balke protocol. I don't though, I take random samples every 3 min at a specific speed to either arrive at a mean or a range. I start to take samples after about 2min minutes at start to get a charted range for different paces and inclines. I find that for speeds up to 7/min per mi, an incline of .5% is very similar to over ground. For speeds at 6/min per mile an incline of about 1.5%-2% is usually required to get a similar workload although at 1% 6/min per mile the heartrate is very similar to the track.

Nice runs, your training is really looking strong. Like you mentioned doing speed runs is fun.

steve, I did get your email, thanks.

I found some resources on treadmill running. It looks like your grades are right on for the speeds you are running.

For 4.17 and 4.58 m s-1, the VO2 during road running was not significantly different from that at 1% or 2% grade but was significantly greater than 0% grade and significantly less than 3% grade. At 5.0 m s-1, the VO2 for road running fell between the VO2 value for 1% and 2% grade treadmill running but was not significantly different from any of the treadmill grade conditions.

Yes, I am bored with time on my hands. The kids are out of school for spring break this week.
