4.92 Mile Run in 36:38

After fixing the treadmill earlier this weekend I decided it would be a good idea to just go ahead and bang out a nice long run. Though I had hoped for a full 10K (6.3 miles), the reality is I only made it just shy of 5 miles. I ended up finishing the 4.92 mile run in 36:38 for an average pace of 7:26/mile.

Woke up this morning with the intention of getting in a nice long run on the treadmill to get the day started off on the right foot. Ok, well I guess both feet. Anyways, I ramped it up pretty quickly above 7.5 and kept raising the speeds until I finished the last 3/4 mile above 9.5. I was hurting towards the end but pretty pumped that I was completely dying of fatigue. I ended up finishing the 6.21 mile run in 47:25 for an average pace of 7:37/mile. According to nikeplus.com, I burned 860 calories. Wow, that's alot.

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.

I finally got back into the swing of things yesterday after a long 10 day layoff from running. I wanted to get back on the treadmill again today knowing that I want to start 2008 on a good training routine. I started nike plus with a 10K goal and also started the treadmill at 7.5. I gradually worked the speed up to about 8.2, then finally finished the last 500K on 10.0 speed. I ended up finishing the 10K (6.2 mile) run in 47:04 for an average pace of 7:33/mile. According to nike plus, I burned 856 total calories.
