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. |
