It's dumping snow. I can hear my treadmill snickering at me from the corner of the room. It knows I'm powerless against the allure of the treadmill at times like this. Serenity now. Serenity now.
(Time passes...)
I wasn't looking for a workout today, just needed something to break up the monotony of treadmill miles, so I devised the Goal Pace Tempo Medley:
2 mile warmup
4 miles @ GMP (8:27)
1 mi. easy
1.5 miles @ GHMP (8:06)Â This is faster than my actual goal. I was going to go 2 mi. oops
.5 mi. easy
.5 @ G10kP (7:48)
.5 easy
.25 @ G5kP (7:24) Not a tempo. An interval of one?
1.75 warmdown
12 m i./1:45:20/8:47 avg.
My treadmill is stuck at 1.5% incline. Also the calibration is most certainly off on this old machine so none of these pacings really mean much. But it was a fun way to pass time while running on a hamster wheel. |
