Tonight I did 5 miles on the treadmill (106 degrees outside) and felt great. I ran it in 45:02, so just over a 9:00 mile. I started out at a 9:05 pace for the first mile, went up to 8:57 for the next three miles, and ran the last mile in 8:49. Heart rate at the end was 170 and down to 120 within about 4 minutes.
Feeling good, and hoping to keep it up!! |
