I have a love/hate relationship with my treadmill. It's how I started running. I was very happy to keep the glory of my initial 5k training indoors and away from public scrutiny. Of course, I've never met a runner that would look at someone starting out running and think badly of them. When I see someone run/walking, I get excited for them, and want to encourage them to keep it up because one day, they could love it as much as I do. Anyway, I hate running on my treadmill, but I love that it is there for me when my schedule is super full or the weather is bad, like today. No babysitter. No run. Unless I want to jump on the old torture machine and crank out a few miles.
I decided to follow my HR training plan and do the prescribed workout today ON my treadmill.
2 miles at 65%, 2 miles at 80%, 2 miles at 65% = 6 miles
It was REALLY hard to stay under my 65% heart rate, even on the treadmill. The last 2 miles I had to walk some to keep my heart rate so low. The middle 2 were at about 9:40 pace. So, that was nice.
Yesterday I could't feel my butt. Today, my brain is numb. But, the workout is completed. Cross that one off and go eat some lunch.
Happy running. :-)
