hamster miles reloaded
with temperatures in the wee hours hovering around zero, i opted to pack gear and run at lunch. i haven’t been feeling 100% as of late so i opted for the treadmill to put in some miles without exposure to the elements.
i started with my normal acceleration, beginning with 6 mph for the first quarter mile then upping it .5 mph each quarter mile for the next mile. from 1.25 miles (8 mph) to 5.00 miles i increased the speed .1 mph each quarter mile until reaching 9.5 mph (~6:20 pace). i then moved back to 8 mph for .5 miles then down to 7.5 mph for the last .5 mile tallying 6 miles in 44:23. (wicked workout)
