Pyramids on the Treadmill
Run Time: 26:44
Total Miles to Date: 162.7
Thoughts on the Run:
First, the blog has a new home. I've moved it from http://roadtoultra.blogspot.com/ to http://jeremylikness.goldensummitinc.com/blog/ — hopefully the transition will go smooth. It looks like Blogger will automatically mirror these posts at the old location so I think all is well - this is my first post since the cutover so we'll see!
Today I did some treadmill work. For some reason I just can't stand going "easy" on the treadmill (if there is such a thing) so I decided to play with tempo pyramids. I basically increased the pace by one minute each minute and walked down to 7-minute miles and back up to 10-minute miles, back down, etc. I averaged a 8:55 pace overall and was beat - seems like I've gone backwards a bit from when I did the 8:15 run but then again I also am not trying to push it hard because I know I have a lot of base building to do.
It was frustrating after the run because of projects/meetings etc I did not get to do my Yoga, but life is about compromise so I got in some thorough stretches and get a full day of rest tomorrow.
Looking forward to my back-to-backs this weekend.
Until then,
Jeremy Likness
