2 Easy Treadmill Miles in 16:45

2 Easy Treadmill Miles in 16:45

Well I must admit I am still sore from the late night of soccer on Thursday. However, I felt compelled to at least get on the treadmill and run a couple easy miles to try and loosen up the tight muscles. I set the speed to 7.0 and started off towards two miles. I stretched around the 1/2 mile mark, and then nudged the speed up to 7.1 and again up to 7.2. I never felt great during the run, but I'm satisfied that I at least got it in. I finished the 2 mile run in 16:45 for an average pace of 8:16/mile.

4 Mile Treadmill Run

4.02 Mile Treadmill Run in 31:25

Went down to our finished basement this afternoon with the expectation of putting in 3.5 miles, but hoping for closer to 4 miles. I started the treadmill off at 7.5 and gradually raised it every mile by about .5. I finished the run pretty hard with some sprinting. I ended up completing the 4.02 mile run in 31:25 for an average pace of 7:48/mile. I burned 553 calories.

2.01 Treadmill Run in 14:22

2.01 Mile Treadmill Run in 14:22

After work this evening I got home and decided to get in a run before eating dinner. After changing and heading downstairs, I decided first to recalibrate the nike + system to be more accurate. After calibrating it last night, I realized I overcalibrated it, so it was actually saying I was running faster/further than I really was. After adjusting it tonight and starting on a 2 mile run, I realized I under adjusted it again. So, I was running at a 7:30 pace according to the treadmill, but the nike plus system was only saying about 7:44.

I ended up finishing the 2.01 mile run in 14:22 for an average pace of 7:07 per mile. My first mile was in about 7:20ish, so my second mile ended up at 6:54 which broke my nike plus mile record again. I ended up burning 277 calories.
