Today was another fun-filled treadmill tempo day. I warmed up 2 miles, and proceeded to run a 7 mile threshold run. I decided that since my run was longer than last week's, I would increase my pace every mile, rather than every 5 minutes. This was not a big change, but kept me under control a little longer. I felt really good today. I need to take some tempos to the roads to see where I really am, but regardless, I am seeing progress. Plus, the treadmill seems to keep my achilles happier. When I hit 5 miles, I increased every half mile, and finished at 11.0 mph (5:27) pace. I only ran this pace for a quarter of a mile.
Mile1: 6:06
Mile 2: 5:56.65
Mile 3: 5:52.2
Mile 4: 5:48.3
Mile 5: 5:45.4
Mile 6: 5:41.5
Mile 7: 5:32.6 Miles 2-7: 34:38 Total time: 40:46
I cooled down 2 miles.
PM: 4 miles easy. My legs were feeling this morning!
