Treadmill day!

I'm back on the treadmill this week for interval training. The plan called for a 4 mile run. I started with a 2 minute warm up and then got right into my 2:1 intervals. I started with a 6.5 base and 7.5 interval then bumped it up to 6.7 and 7.7, 6.8 and 7.8 and my last push was an 8.0. 

I did a total of 10 sprints and finished with my 6.5 speed and gradually stepping down to a walk.

As the training plan moves forward I think I'm going to keep my Wednesday runs shorter with more intense bursts of speed. My original training plan did not incorporate speedwork or intervals so instead of scaling up to 10 mile straight runs I think I'll keep them around 3 or 4 miles with sprints.

Feeling good about how week 4 is going so far and happy that my interval runs feel so much better than week 1!

14 sessions done, 75 more to go!
