SSDD. Pretty much the same run as yesterday but I felt more sluggish. HR increased more quickly into the 150s in the fourth mile. Died on me at 9.75 as I was ramping up to 11 mph so less total mileage in the 60 minute window. 60 minutes total at 1 incline.

I was thinking about doing this four days in a row, but that sucked a lot and I think I need to get outside. 6am or bust!

Nice workouts this week. As boring as TMs might be I think they help build a mental edge.

Agreed. I look at what Justin Park did leading up to the last St George Marathon and he was doing three of these types of runs each week. Of course he also had the monster bike rides.

When I was doing more of these last winter, I think they improved my speed quickly and I am hoping to get some of that edge you identified back.

Justin is my poster boy for a steady diet of treadmill runs can be used in marathon training and can make you faster.
