Been terribly sick the last 2 days...actually for about a week now ive been battling this infection that appeared to be in my ears and nasal area but according to the doctor, its all through my chest and head and its a virus so ive had to let it run its course. peaked the last 2 days in intensity so i had to forgo running. Today was better so I'm hoping all the rest and fluids are starting to take care of the situation. I went down to the gym to get a few miles in on the treadmill..actually tonight was my first ever run on a treadmill believe it or not...afterwards im here to report that it was probably one of my last, im not a fan, the thing totally changes your running form and it feels so unnatural to hold a steady pace that long, no one does that in real life, running is about eases and surges and running by feel, not being directed by a machine (now granted, when running outside, i find it awesome to hit metronome like paces because that is a manmade achievement). Anyways, thats my take on treadmills after having tried one. 4.25 in like 30:35, kept increasing the pace, started at 8 to get my bearings and make sure i wasnt gonna fall off, then ran most of it between 8.5-9.0mph (7:08-6:44 pace) |
