I ran an easy run this morning on the treadmill at school. I wanted to be able to bail at any time if the knee flared up so I ran indoors today. 7 miles in 53:01. PM: I ran 3 more miles as I had to collect video data for a class. I wanted to do this on Saturday but as my knee was hurting I waited until today (I couldn't wait any longer because the assignment is due on Friday). I was nervous because I had to run hard prior to taking the video, but I hoped that I would be fine. The test consisted of running at a preferred speed (8.3mph for me) that was determined during a blind test, followed by increases of 15% every 2 minutes until failure. I warmed up at 7-7.3mph for 2 minutes and then started the test. I started at 8.3, then after 2 min I upped the pace to 9.5, then 10.8, then 12.0, followed by 13.3 (4:30ish pace) and finally 14.5 (4:08 pace). I was not expecting to last the full two minutes at 14.5mph but somehow I did it. I did know that there was no way I was going to be able to go up to 15.8 so I didn't up the pace after 2 min and instead maintained 14.5 for 11 seconds after the 2 min was up before stopping. I honestly could have lasted a little longer, but for the purposes of my test I had done enough and my legs were dead. I am not sure what to think of this, but based on the speeds I was running at I set a pr in the 800 (2:04) and in the mile (4:20) during this test. It makes me wonder if I really have more speed than I have realized previously. I also wonder if the treadmill moving underneath me might have provided a benefit that I can not duplicate when running on the track. I guess that I can chalk these up as treadmill prs if that is worth anything |
