7 miles at 1.0 incline on tm. I warmed up for 2 miles. Then did 4 x1200 meters with 3 minute rests in between. I ran the first 800 meters at my goal marathon pace (9.0 mph), then ran the last 400 meters at my mile time (10.1 mph, which is actually low, but I am out of shape right now). I would then do a 3 minute recovery jog at 8.2 mph. I did that 4 times, then did the last .7 miles at 8.6 mph. Total time was 48:30 avg pace of 6:56. I felt really good during and after the run. I am excited about it. I think next time I do this I will do the 400 meters at my goal mile pace (according to a marathon time of 2:56ish). That is about a 5:10 mile, or 11.6 mph, so I will need to get in a lot better shape before this workout cycles through and shows up again.
