long run  on the dreadmill today, 16 miles, decided to hit the normal LR pace of 7:16-7:20 for the first 12 then dropped it into 6:51 pace for the last 4 miles. The only thing that broke my rythym was accidently hitting the emergency stop button about 14.25 miles in, my arm hits that thing 8-10 times a run and it usually isnt hard enough to shut it off..but today i got it just right and wabamm..quick stop...i restarted it quickly and finished strong but the mental aspect of the sudden break was not cool! some split info:

1:55:35 for the full 16 miles, 7:13 avg pace for the total

1:28:09, 7:21 avg pace for the first 12

27:26, 6:51.5 avg for the final 4 miles, a nice little finishing kick

Pretty dang impressive to be on the treadmill that long. Nice finishing miles and kick too!

thanks man! I dont recommend it to anyone hoping to remain sane while running! But actually, the treadmill long run is kinda nice because you can control your pace exactly, have a cushioned running surface, and you can keep all your fluids and gels close by and dont have to carry them with you.

Happy miles!
