I took the kids to the gym for some treadmill work tonight. It was mile repeat night, and I wasn't sure how I felt about that. I did a mile warm up at 7.5 and my legs felt very tired. I then set up the treadmill to do 6 one mile repeates at 9.9 (6:03) with recovery pace at 4.5 all at 1% incline. I was suprised that my legs felt a lot better running at the faster pace. I did my 6 repeats with 2:57 recovery time. I was suprised how good I felt all the way through until that last mile which was tough at the beginning then I finished strong. Total run 8.5 miles.

HyperSpeed Miles: 8.50

Rhett I think I get faster just reading your reports I can't imagine what it is doing for you. Can you set up the treadmill to do all your speed changes right at the beginning? I need to figure out how to do that.

I use the gyms treadmills. It has an interval workout mode so you pre-program it for your running speed and your jogging speed and then you only have to hit one button when you want to switch back and forth. I love that setting, makes speed work a ton easier.
