Clydesdale Runner

Afternoon lunch run - did 2M on the treadmill. Ran 5min @10:00 pace, 4min @9:00 pace, 2min @ 8:00 pace, 4min @ 9:00 pace and 5min @10:00 pace. I had the incline at 1.5 and my heartrate hit 165 during the 8:00, but back down to 154 for the rest. It was good to get this in - not wanting to push it, but needed to mix it up a bit.

Ran 2.06 on treadmill. I did the hill workout and keep forgetting that when my treadmill says "hills" what it really means is "mountains" - they just keep going up and up! I started with the first 5 mins @ 10:00 pace then did the remaining 15 mins at 9:30 pace and it felt really great. I was relaxed throughout the entire run even at the peaks! Body appears to be adapting quite well to running again. I've changed my weightlifting to a 3 day split routine and run the days I don't lift. This will be for the next few months anyway.

Nice easy run - probably should warmup or stretch first - sometimes I need too, sometimes I don't - so it's kind of a balancing act - anyway - I will try that more. Just kept it with no hills and at 1.0 incline - did 9:30 for some and 10:00 for some.
