Treadmill Tempo

January 29, 2015 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Did the 2 mile warmup at 2.5% incline at 8.5 mph. I then did my 6 mile tempo. The first 2 miles were at 8.8 mph at a 4.0% grade, the next 2 miles were 8.9 mph at a 4.5% grade, and the last two miles were 9.0 mph at 5.0% incline. Despite increasing the speed and grade I don't feel that this effort was equivalent to the tempos I usually do. The effort required was somewhere between a tempo and regular run effort. Just felt like a harder regular run. I should've gone faster to get a better workout in but it's no big deal. I don't like the treadmill so I finished my mile cooldown outside and it felt really weird going from the belt to solid ground. I'm planning on getting as many people and shovels as we can together this sunday to shovel the track so I can do a real tempo there next week.
