Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
0.20	2.70	3.30	0.00	6.20

My first interval workout since the Des-News Marathon started out as a struggle, but ended up going extremely well. In short, I completed six miles of half-mile intervals (i.e., the slow halves at 9.2 miles per hour, while the fast halves at 11.2) in a PR time of 34:54!!! In order to achieve this PR in such a standardized treadmill workout, I extended all of my threshold pace half miles to 0.55 then gradually slowed down to an my 9.2 mph speed. Then I did a 0.2-mile cool down jog before calling it a day.

My non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 100 (20 lbs) curls.

Five-Minute Plank Challenge: 30 second plank and side planks

Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Challenge: another serving of oatmeal for breakfast

Night Sleep Time: 6.83	Nap Time: 0.17	Total Sleep Time: 7.00

I like the treadmill for this type workout but the bad thing is my local gym put in new treadmills and they don't go nearly fast enough :-(
