3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) 

Personal:

I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races.

Track workout on the treadmill (1% incline)!!! I have to miss track tonight because I'm flying to Chicago to see my fiance!!! My advisor okayed me to work Friday/Monday from Chi town. :) It was nice to not have anxiety all day for this workout (like every Thursday, hehe)! Workout called for 3-4x(1000m @ 5k pace + 600m at HMP) with 800m recovery. I hit 4 repeats and had gas left in the tank. The 1000m's were at 6:18 min/mi pace, the 600m's were at 7:18 min/mi pace. Neither of these times seem like realistic race paces for me just based on the number, but this workout honestly wasn't so bad. Maybe because the treadmill is easier? I was really surprised by the 600s, I thought I was recovering and caught myself a couple times from trying to go into the next repeat!! Haha. My 800m PR is a 6:19 min/mi pace (on track though) so that's pretty snazzy I beat that 4 times today at a longer distance. Oh and these lengths are super awkward on the tm, I had to print out a cheat sheet!! :)

Finished up with some PT/strength/core exercises, and made my modified gluten free recovery drink!!! Half a scoop of gluten free protein powder + 2 honey stingers = Endurox but gluten free. :)

Awesome workout Jackie! If anything I personally think sw is harder on the treadmill so believe in those times. You are just getting faster girl!

Enjoy your weekend getaway. :)

Great workout!! It's funny how slow faster paces feel after going Really fast! You nailed it!

Jessica this is a great workout! I think the treadmill makes it mentally easier to do speedwork (you just have to hold on til the end of the rep!) but physically, especially with an incline, I think it is just as hard as running on a track.

I did 1000m repeats the other day (on treadmill) at the same pace, and I nearly didnt finish the session - so I'm very impressed with your workout!
