I ran on the treadmill today. I wanted to do a tempo run and it was super windy outside so that is my whimpy excuse for running on the treadmill. Seriously I did want to be able to see how the tempo went pace wise and figured I would be all over the map in the wind. I started off with a 2 mile warm up and felt pretty good but still a little stiff. I used the 3rd mile as a transition to the tempo so it was more at MP and ended up at 7:06. I picked it up to tempo pace and ran the tempo miles as follows:
1st - 6:34
2nd - 6:24
3rd - 6:21
4th - 6:15
So did the 4 mile tempo in 25:34 for a 6:24 avg. I was pretty happy with the run. I would have perferred to have this result on the roads so will try it again next week outside to see how it compares. It felt comfortably hard if that makes sense. I finished up with a mile cool down.
