Pretty reliant on the treadmill lately. Even though the weather isn't too bad my motivation to put on my outside garb during work hours is zilch. So yesterday I ran 8 miles on the treadmill. I did the splits as follows:
Mile 1- 9.3 mph (6:29 mile)
Mile 2 - 9.5 mph (6:18 mile)
Mile 3 - 9.3 mph (6:29 mile)
Mile 4 - 9.5 mph (6:18 mile)
Mile 5 - 9.3 mph (6:29 mile)
Mile 6 - 9.5 mph (6:18 mile)
Mile 7 - 9.3 mph (6:29 mile)
Mile 8 - 9.5 mph (6:18 mile)
The run was pretty easy and I felt pretty good.
Today's run was also on the treadmill. You know I've been going to the work gym way too much when I have random people on the treadmill ask me if I'm that "marathon guy" who starts the treadmill at 9.0 and goes "forever". I wasn't expecting that to come out in our casual conversation, but it's amazing at how red I got by that comment. I then heard a few people look at my treadmill and comment "he's always going at that speed" and "I don't know how he does it". I guess the comments were flattering, but a sign that I'm there way too much. So today's effort was 9 miles. I did the splits as:
Mile 1 - 9.0 mph (6:40 mile)
Mile 2 - 9.3 mph (6:29 mile)
Mile 3 - 9.5 mph (6:18 mile)
Mile 4 - 9.0 mph (6:40 mile)
Mile 5 - 9.3 mph (6:29 mile)
Mile 6 - 9.5 mph (6:18 mile)
Mile 7 - 9.0 mph (6:40 mile)
Mile 8 - 9.3 mph (6:29 mile)
Mile 9 - 9.5 mph (6:18 mile)
The legs today felt better than yesterday. I could have done a few more sets at the same pace. If I can swing it I may get out tonight for a few miles. I need to get outside.
