A very hectic workout. Idea was 6x1 mile at 10k pace + 10 seconds - or 5:55 per mile. With the wind, I considered the treadmill but a coworker was using the only one that goes sub 6.

I had no cold gear but I went out anyway. The wind was brutal. I decided to go to Matheson Park and go around. I warmed up 1.5 and did my first mile in 6:07 with a nice headwind for half of it. I decided I wasn't going to get what I needed out of the workout and returned to work. Outside was 3.44 miles in 24:45 with 300 ft of climb.

For a similar effort on the now available treadmill, I decided to do 5 miles in 5:42 per (10.5). I felt great but the treadmill once again overheated on me at mile 3.75 or so and I had to do .4 on the old treadmill before returning to the newer one to finish the workout. I finished doing 1.44 including .5 at 5 minute pace. No cool down. Looked like this:

3.44 24:45
0.12 1:00 25:45
3.6 20:30 46:15
0.4 2:40 48:55
1.44 8:02 56:57

My mind and body were ready for a big workout but the gods were not cooperating today. The treadmill effort felt too easy and my HR corroborated at low 140s throughout.

Overheated the treadmill. That is a good workout or a crappy treadmill. Great workout anyway.

Its a good one and its not that old but it has been shorting for some reason. No one in my office is sympathetic because they don't have the same problem :)
