Because I overslept and had an early start, I was in a dilemma. I had a tempo and speed combination workout but it was too late to go to the park or track.
That meant I had to switch around and do another easy run. I jumped on the treadmill. Usually, my TM runs are slow – perhaps painfully slow. My coach Eilish seems surprised by this. She says most runners – her runners – run faster on the treadmill. Not me. For me treadmill running by feel means that I am way below any comfortable pace I can manage on the road.
At any rate, here I was on the treadmill. As expected, I started off slow but built up every few minutes, pyramid style and kept pushing while maintaining a reasonable RPE. Although, I didn’t come anywhere close to my regular road running pace, it was much better than recent workouts on the treadmill.
Finished off, jumped in the shower and out of the door.
