Did 12 sets of stadium stairs at the ice rink tonight followed by a mile on the track + .25 miles to and from the track. I finished with a mile on the track to get an idea of what sort of pace I might equate my sets of stairs to. I ran the track mile in 7:18 and my last stadium set was in 5:29. My estimate was that the sets were about .75 in rough equivalent to road miles. Pace wise running for 5:29 at a 7:18 pace comes out to 0.7511 miles. So I had a good guess. Running time for the sets was 1:07:14 (7:28s) for a rough road equivalent of 9 miles (I tried to keep these miles in primarily fat burning zone). Splits as follows: 5:52, 5:42, 5:38, 5:39, 5:38, 5:37, 5:35, 5:31, 5:34, 5:27, 5:30, 5:29. Then about .125 miles to the track, a 7:18 around the track and another .125 back. |
