I might be doing this set-up a lot more often now that it is warmer outside.Nothing pierced through my pubescent sleep patterns quite like those Girls Gone Wild steel drums. Then I sat on the big toy and stretched while she played some more. I just ran around the playground for about 10 minutes and Brooke would jump in and join me every now and then. I ran out of time to finish my warm-up on the treadmill so Brooke and I went to a park to finish up. I cannot do the math and memory thing during speed workouts so I make sure to have them written down so I don’t question how many I have done. During each recovery type out your interval in your phone to keep track of them. IE if I need to start my interval at 3.5 miles then I start turning the speed up at 3.45 miles so that the treadmill gets to the speed I need by the time I need to start.ĥ. I don’t start tracking the interval until the treadmill hits the speed that I want. You are going to need some distractions to push through and people watching is a great distraction.Ĥ. Choose the treadmill with the best people watching view. I also make sure to bring a huge water bottle with tons of ice in it to avoid the overheating thing.ģ.

The speed you are going at should feel difficult and like it is working you but you shouldn’t feel like you are just barely holding on for dear life to the treadmill.

It is easy to get the treadmill going so fast that you change your stride and overstride in order to keep up. I keep my hips towards the railing of the treadmill rather than falling back a bit. I try not to let the treadmill outrun me. I do have a few things that I do to help make the workout as effective as possible.ġ. I have had to do more of my speed work on the treadmill than I would like this training cycle but it is what it is and I am grateful to have access to treadmills.

Here is how these 800s have gone throughout this training cycle: 5 miles) so I parked it at the 10.1 mph and got to work.5% incline was the incline of choice.ġ2 miles total with 12 x 800 2:58.25 recoveries in between each one. ![]() The goal for today was 2:58 for each 800 (or. I had my final 800 workout before the marathon and the screen below is what I saw for a good chunk of time. ![]() She starts at one side and moves across the plate in a straight line.

I have no organizational skills when I eat and I just attack it and next thing I know it I am done after 5 minutes but… I had the buffalo chicken salad (from 180 Tacos) and the fact that they put pineapple on the top took it to another level.
