And that stinks, but that's why we have one: for the times when running outside just isn't an option. I have a huge project going at work, which of course, equates to a huge deadline in a couple weeks. So that means staying a couple hours late every day, with non-game-day-Saturdays at the office a definite possibility... So, on weeknights when I get home late and it's too dark to run outside, it's over to the treadmill for me.
It's not that I mind the treadmill itself - there's a TV in there, so it's not as boring as it could be. What I mind is that I'm actually slower on the treadmill - the opposite of most people! I'm wary of going above 5mph, which is significantly slower than my running pace on the trail. Oh well, as long as I'm getting it done, that's what counts, right?
Today's stats:
- 0.55mi warm-up walk
- 2.5mi run; 0:36:03 min; 14:25min/mi
I hate the treadmill like most people. And like you, I can't seem to go fast! My normal pace is 10min miles...which is a 6.0 on the treadmill. If I run at 6.0 for more than a few mins on the treadmill, I feel like I'm going to keep over!
ReplyDeleteMiles are miles though so that's all that counts!
