Sometimes, when I train on the treadmill, I do different things to break up the monotony. Like slowly increasing speed each quarter to half of a mile.
Tonight I ran on a 2.0 incline (which is my normal incline when I run on the "mill), and I started out at 5 mph. At the half mile mark I moved the speed up to 5.3. At the mile mark I moved up to 5.5 mph. At the 1.5 mile mark, I moved up to 5.8 and at the 2 mile mark I moved up to 6 mph. At the 2.5 mark I jumped up to 6.5 mph and at the 2.75 mile mark I jumped on up to 7 mph to finish off.
It's nice to break things up now and again. Next week, I'll switch to doing more interval training. And tomorrow is a much needed "off" day. I'm going to see if I can squeeze it in early, while I'm still half asleep, so my body doesn't know what's going on.
3 miles this evening for Fish and Cam! Thanks for cheering me on guys! Love you both!
