Personal:

I retired from the Army after 26 years of service in 2010.  I moved home to Arizona.  My wife and I are empty nesters.  In 2016 I had stents placed in my heart after discovering coronary artery disease.  Since early 2016 I have lost 30 lbs and got in much better shape.  August 2017 I retired again. We served a mission to Mexico from October 2017 until April 2019.

6 miles treadmill.  used garmin and the indoor tracking is way off both on the pace and on the distance.  my garmin says I ran 5.42 miles.  based upon my current elvel of fitness and the effort put forth that is not accurate.  so... I pushed the lap button each time I hit a mile on the treadmill.  total time 53:11.  strting at 10 minutes I did 2 minutes up-tempo 3 minutes recovery.  through 3 miles the pace was 7.1 mph for up-tempo and 6.6 mph for "recovery".  I did the 30 and 35 min segments at 7.2 mph and the 40 and 45 min segments at 7.3 mph.  after the 40 adn 45 min segment I did 30 seconds at 6.5 mph and then went up to 6.6.  starting at 50 mins I went hard to the finish.  started at 7.3 mph and went up 0.1 mph every 30 seconds ending the last 11 seconds at 7.9 mph.  pace 9:35, 8:48, 8:47, 8:49, 8:48, 8:25.

treadmill run Garmin way off on distance so used my lap to hit the miles total time 88:56.  warmed up for 20 minutes and then did a ladder 1-1-2-2-3-3-4-4-5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1.  Start up tempo at 6.7 mph and recovery at 6.3 but upped this by 0.1 mph for both until I did 4,5, and 4 minutes uptempo at 7.1 mph with recovery at 6.6.  Then I upped the pace even more. When the ladder was done at 70 minutes I slowed to 6.3 and upped it by 0.1 every 30 seconds. at 72 minutes I went up by 0.1 every 2 minutes. At 80 I stayed at 7.1 for 6 minutes and then I went up every 30 seconds again until 87: minutes then I went up by 0.2.  I finished for almost 30 seconds running 7.9 mph.  watch said 8.84 miles when I was done.  effort and current fitness tells me that treadmill was accurate.  mile splits:  9:45, 9:23, 8:58, 8:48, 8:45, 8:44, 8:46, 8:45, 8:45, 8:17
