Saturday morning - Treadmill Tempo Run
Warmup 2km's slow jogging pace then
1 x 1200m inc 2degs then 90s walk recovery
followed by a stiff 500m inc 6degs with
another slow jog for around 1.2kms to finish.
Again looking to build on my speed endurance.
A slightly easier week this time so i'll be looking
to ramp up the km's again next week if possible.

Paul, this is a question rather than a comment : how do you find doing tempo runs on a treadmill as against going outdoors? Is there a special reason you prefer the treadmill? Asking because I like to use a gym treadmill but often wonder if it's as good as doing the same training on the road?
Hi LL, I think it's a little easier
on the treadmill than on the track but i could be wrong. On the track it is possible to slow a bit when you're tired. You can't do that on the treadmill, so depending on how you look at it, maybe it's easier to get the workout done at the correct pace. I do think you need to up the incline a little to get a similar feeling to track or road running.
I do quite a lot of treadmill work as i have my kids with me most of the time and can't always get away
from the house to run.
