Because of the challenge that I took last January I needed to run 13.1. Again my Saturday was crazy so I had to run this one on the treadmill. I started out with the plan to put the treadmill on a 1% incline and got between a 6.0 and 6.5. I ran this for 2 miles and had enough. I stopped the treadmill and put on my "random" program at a 6.4. This felt good and I was glad to get the hill work in. This was a 4 mile program.....YEA 6 miles so far.
I then chose the speed program. This program will vary your speed from a 5.8 to a 7.0. Felt good and I was to complete the 2.5 miles.....total so far....8.5 miles.
Again, I did the random program. I skipped the cool down so I only had 3.5 miles.....12 miles down.
The last mile I used as a cool down. 1% incline 6.0. My butt was hurting pretty bad from the uphill programs..but over all I felt good about the run. Glad I was able to complete it. |
