PM: 3x2miles on this weird indoor track. Finally a good workout. First I have to say that based on my times it was probably measured from the outside lane (lane 4) and I ran it in lane 2 passing people on the outside. So based on that its about 50m short each mile which is about 11 seconds per mile more. Times were 11:38 (5:49-corrected->6:00), 11:28 (5:44-corrected->5:55), 11:03 (5:31-corrected->5:42). So corrected 5:52 average. Maybe worth a 1:19 low (adding 8ish sec/mile to get half marathon pace). Felt sick from the very beginning. But am happy with the times. Felt very controlled even on the last one could have gone significantly faster. Still wasn't as cool as I would like it to be and had to wear a shirt and got serious nipple chaffing but acceptable. Ill just wear bandaids when i go back.

nice running. this heat has got to stop. you really should try to buy a used treadmill and then just sell it when you leave. if the difference is a gym membership you've won. how many laps/mile on the track?

They said its 1/8th of a mile so I dunno if that means 200m or 201.? (to make 1600 or a full mile respectively). It is a pretty cool track. It is circular so turns arent as sharp as they would be and on the 2nd floor of the gym but on 2 sides the track actually goes in a tunnel outside the main structure of the building and has windows on both sides. I did feel like I was moving much faster on the last one but only a little bit more effort. One guy didn't want me to pass him so he sped up to my pace and faster and knowing it was only a matter of time I kept with him until he broke. Love that feeling. The first two I definitely held back but probably for the best especially since I was sick to my stomach. Going into the last one I was thinking "is this gonna be the time I puke running?" but just did it and eventually the feeling went away (to come back after the rep of course).

Now it's looking like it might shape up to a close race. Of course Henry has put up some great vo2max stuff his threshold and endurance remain to be seen. I expect they will be comparable to ours but who knows. Could be worse could be much better especially if he does more miles between then and now.
Why did u want the track distance? Checking my math for lane offset? Lol

crazy track lol, that's pretty cool about the windowed part. haha, have you puked from running? i have only once, and it was because i was thrown into the last leg of a 4x800m as the race was starting and just after i had eaten like 2 nature valley bars lol.
we'll see maybe on saturday what my threshold/endurance is looking like lol. it's gonna be one of those 8 or 9 mile "steady" runs.
