Tempo Work

Today I was scheduled to do some tempo work. That being said I was having some issues figuring out where I was going to do it. So, I elected to do the tempo run on the treadmill. My workout consisted of 2 mile repeats with a tenth of a mile break between each set. So my 8 miles went as follows:

Set 1:
Mile 1 - 6:35
Mile 2 - 6:18

Set 2:
Mile 1 - 6:35
Mile 2 - 6:11

Set 3:
Mile 1 - 6:35
Mile 2 - 6:00

Set 4:
Mile 1 - 6:35
Mile 2 - 5:27

Now 5:27 for the last mile was a hell of a lot faster than I wanted to go, but I realized the treadmill went from 10mph to 11mph with nothing in-between. So, I was stuck with that pace. It felt good, but damn was I sweating like a pig.

Tonight I plan on getting in an additional 2 miles, but I'll write about that when I actually do it.
