This workout was a learning experience. I elevated the back of the treadmill so I could do some decline running. The workout was supposed to be two miles of decline at tempo pace - 8 seconds then two miles of level tempo and then 3 x 1200 at 5K pace. For whatever reason, I was winded earlier than I thought. I think the decline experience was a good learning tool. I ended up with one mile at -3.5 degrees and 9.6 mph, one mile at level tempo (9.4 mph), half mile at decline (9.5 mph) and 1.5 miles level tempo. Then recovery quarter and 3 x 1200, but 1200s interrupted by potty issues and oxygen debt. Overall a good warning not to go out too fast in Boston on the downhill early section.
