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.

10K (6.2 mile) Treadmill Run in 48:07
10K (6.2 mile) Treadmill Run in 48:07
Decided to get on the treadmill tonight for a nice long run with our trip to Cancun only a couple of weeks away. It's hard to get pumped up for running any distance over 6 miles on the treadmill, so for the time being 10K has been the limit as far as distance goes. As the graph below indicates, I started the run in the mid 7's, and then upped it slowly during the latter half of the run before edging it up to 9.5 for the last 1000 meters. It was a good run considering I didn't feel all that great. I ended up finishing the 6.2 mile run in 48:07 for an average pace of 7:43/mile. According to nikeplus I burned 861 calories.
