I really hate having to run my long runs on the treadmill. It seems that every Saturday I have something in the morning. I started out running 2 miles at a 6.0 pace with a 1% incline. I started out with my side ache again. It took about 1 mile to get rid of. I hope this isn't going to become a habit.
I then ran the next four miles at a 1% incline 6.5 speed (9:09). I felt pretty good, but was tired after the four miles. I don't know if I was tired or bored. I decided to change the workout to make it more interesting.
I did the "random" program on my treadmill. This will change what you do every minute for 30 minutes (with a 5 minute warm up and cool down). I was running any where between a 5.8 0% incline to a 6.4 5% incline. I feel it is a good workout because it changes every minute and isn't as boring.
I would like to be able to work up to doing this same work out on the 7.0 6% incline mode.
