3-2-1 at 6:31 on the treadmill. Warmup of 2 and cool down of 1.25 with .5 and .25 in the betweeners.
This was a super difficult workout. It was much more difficult than my 8 mile tempo last week. Everything about it seemed miserable, except for finishing. Here are 2 of what I consider to be contributing factors to the suckfest that it was.
1 - My treadmill is in my garage and there is no fan. It was hot! good heat training I guess. By the end, I might as well have jumped into a pool.
2 - I always feel like my treadmill is actually faster than what it displays. 6:31 felt more like 6:15 today. My breathing seemed a little labored within the first mile of the tempo and I felt like I was having to push considerably harder than 6:30 on the road.
So, I am happy that I stuck it out because I wanted to quit many times. Though it was fewer miles at marathon pace this week, I still feel like it was a good workout.
