Slow 2 Mile Treadmill Run in 17:08

Slow 2 Mile Treadmill Run in 17:08

My goal tonight was to go for a slow two mile treadmill run. Switching up the pace of runs during training helps to avoid injuries as it changes how hard the slow and fast twitch muscles are worked during the course of a workout. I purposely went for an 8:30/mile pace because it is a full one minute per mile slower than I have been working out at recently. The important thing is that I got the mileage in and stayed on a solid routine. I ended up finishing the 2 mile run in 17:08 for an average pace of 8:36/mile. According to nikeplus.com I burned 278 calories.
