Returned to SLC. To make the transition from 65 to 15 degree weather more bearable I decided to run at the gym today. 15 miles on the treadmill. 10 miles at about 6:50/1.5% incline and last 5 at about 6:40/1% incline. Almost all of the miles I put in this week were between 6:30 and 7. Even though that is a very manageable pace I think for recovery runs I should probably being running in the 7:10 to 7:20s. 6:30-6:45 miles for over 10 miles is still work and is probably the reason why I haven't felt like putting in faster miles on the days in between the slower runs.
