5K Treadmill Run in 22:33

5k Treadmill Run in 22:33

Went downstairs to run only about 15 minutes after eating dinner tonight. I probably should have waited a little longer, but I wanted to run before it got too late. I went down with the intention of running 2.5, but decided that I might as well up it to 3.1 (5K). With that in mind, I started the treadmill fast at 8.5, then gradually sped it up, finishing the last half mile of the run on 10.0 (6:00/mile pace). The run shattered my previous Nike Plus 5K record of 22:40. I ended up finishing the 5k run in 22:33 for an average pace of 7:14/mile. According to nikeplus.com, I burned 428 calories.

5 Mile Treadmill Run 39:21

5.23 Mile Treadill Run in 39:21

Had the good ol' noreaster hit Massachusetts today, so Sara and I spent the day doing chores and errands around the houe while also relaxing. It was a good opportunity for me to get downstairs for a 5 mile run with the hopes of continuing to get into better shape and also work on the 50 mile challenge that Stephen set up on nikeplus. The 5 mile run today ended up being my quickest yet, even though I put the incline up to 1.0 for the duration of the run. I ended up finishing the 5.23 mile treadmill run in 39:21 for an average pace of 7:31/mile. According to nike plus I burned 719 total calories.
