8 miles in the cold, slippery snow.
12.25 miles in the early evening.
The treadmill needs to get some more oil so we are waiting on that to come. Can I get any oil for a treadmill at any sporting goods store? I did my Sasha type run today due to running around the block and then up around Ben Lomond in the snow. One loop consisted of about 1 mile. I don't mind running in the snow but it is slick and unpredictable on the legs. That is why I usually do my runs in the morning on the treadmill. I was going to push it on the dry parts of the road but their really wasn't to much of the dry stuff. It is supposed to warm-up later this week so I happy about that.
I went up to Weber State for my workout with Paul Pilkington. I warmed up with a 3 mile jog. He had me do 10x 1000m right around 5:00/mile pace with a 1:15 recovery jog in between each one. The last time I did 1000's I was only able to do 8 and my fastest was at 3:07. I did all 10 of these tonight under 3:06. My fastest was 3:03. He wanted me to try and stay consistent over each of the 1000's. I felt really good after this workout. I feel more comfortable going faster. The body seems to be taking it well. I made sure I got a good 3 mile cooldown in afterwards and then drank plenty of fluids. Today is in the books. |
