January 31, 2013: 74 and Counting…..10 miles (Treadmill) – 71:30 – I
was originally going to do either a 6 or 8-mile recovery run as the training
schedule called for. However, I have
plans to run a 10K in Charleston on Sunday, so I thought I might switch some
runs around and get the longer stuff in earlier and cut my mileage a bit as I
got closer to the race. Since yesterday
was a little bit of an easy run, I felt pretty decent for this one. I
still wanted to keep it a relatively easy run.
However, I am convinced that my treadmill is off somehow on pacing. For example, when I run 6:20 pace on my
treadmill, it truly feels like closer to a 5:40 effort. I know that sounds crazy, but when I do my
marathon paced tempo runs, the effort feels very similar to the 6:20-25 on the
treadmill. I have no idea why….miscalibrated
maybe? Does my treadmill have a little
bit of an incline even when the incline is set to zero? Not sure, but when running on my treadmill, I
have to run effort-based instead of pace-based.
