PM: 6 x 5'on/1'off, treadmill, 11 miles
An ice storm today killed both my morning run (anywhere, really...even the parking lot at the gym was an ice rink) and my usual Wednesday track workout. By the evening when the temperature rose to the high 30s, I was at least able to warm up on the roads. I bit the bullet and ran some cruise intervals, again on the treadmill.
I pulled both the workout and the treadmill setting from Jack Daniels. For the "on" sections, I set the treadmill for 7.5% grade @ 8.1 mph, which is ~5:15 pace, or what I hope to run for 10 miles later this spring. Because few treadmills go past 10 mph, running faster than 6:00 pace requires "equivalents" using adjusted inclines.
The legitimacy of all this still seems dubious to me, so I cranked the last interval a little bit for good measure. In any event, a treadmill workout is better than no workout. Saturday's XC workout should make up for it.
