Lunch/PM: 10.4 miles on the treadmill, averaged 8:12. HR 154.
20' Tempo + 6 x 1' On/Off
Around 6:30 pace or just a touch under. Started the first 5' @ 9.2 thinking I would cut down, but I bumped it up to 9.3 for a bit, then I hit the emergency stop, which shut the treadmill off but kept my place on Zwift. I was tempted to quit as I was struggling a bit with concentration. I was monitoring the boys' nap, which makes it harder to focus on harder efforts. I jumped back on as soon as I could grab the key and reset. Worked though it. I think I backed the pace off back to 9.2 somewhere around the 15' mark but I can't remember.
1' efforts were at 10.0 MPH and they felt very fast. I ran 6' @ a time at just over 6' pace outside 3 or 4 weeks ago and this felt harder. Sometimes the faster end of stuff on the treadmill feels very fast.
This was the first workout on the new treadmill other than easy runs and some strides and the setup is essentially perfect. This gives me a good sense of effort. My HR wasn't crazy high by any means, but it did get up around 180 for the last few minutes, which is about my maximum sustainable HR for too many minutes these days.
