Running my 5:30 mile
Did my mile training in my new "Fitcast" t-shirt from www.thefitcast.com (just like the one the model is wearing in today's photo - NOTE: That is not me in the photo).
Used the treadmill again, BUT I used a 1% incline...as running magazines typically say that adding a 1% grade to a treadmill equates better to running on ground.
Also, I decreased the rest intervals, and tried to repeat the quarter mile workout I did here: http://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2006/08/8-mile.html
This time, I did 4, not 5 quarter miles.
All at 11.0mph and 1% incline.
All with only 30 seconds rest between each.
Good strong and tough.
Again, I attribute a lot of my success to my leg strength. Each stride is strong and takes less effort than a weaker person would have to apply.
Runners take note: Strength is good.
