4 Mile Treadmill Tempo

TreadmillJust a four mile tempo run on the treadmill tonight to keep things ticking over. After a short warm up, I ran 3 x 6 minute reps at a fairly brisk pace (enough to elevate my heart rate anyway) and a 3% incline.

I allowed myself the luxury of a 90 second recovery period after each rep before cooling down and performing 12 minutes of abs/core work.

Not the most challenging workout I’ve ever done, but I wanted to log a few miles without pushing myself too much. Tomorrow I’m planning an early morning six miler before work, and possibly a testing track workout on Saturday.

Yes, you read that correctly – a track workout on Saturday. There are no races to run (unless you count a one mile event at a local school), so for the first time in 12 weeks, I won’t be racing this weekend. Not that I’m addicted to racing or anything, but I wonder how I’ll cope??

  1. No race for the first time in 12 weeks, whatever will you do?! 😉 Well, here are a few suggestions for you: How about for starters enjoying the simple pleasures of sleeping in on a Saturday?! Hahahahaha.

    OK, just couldn’t resist teasing you about that. 😉

    So what’s the weather supposed to be like this weekend in VA beach? (Here, it’s supposed to rain all weekend except Sunday, but atleast the weather’ll be a bit warmer than it’s been earlier in the week.) Hope you have good weather for your track workout!
