Treadmill Thursday

Another treadmill workout was the focus for today.

The morning started out with an easy 3000m swim at NAU. A bunch of drills and some pull.

The treadmill workout was a good one. 80' in total.

20' warm-up, including some faster pick-ups.
24 X 1' with 1' passive rest (just step off the moving belt). All the intervals were conducted at an incline of 2%.

#1-10 11.0 mph
#11-12 11.2 mph
#13-14 11.4 mph
#15-18 11.6 mph
#19-20 11.8 mph
#21-24 12.0 mph

10' warm-down.
Felt pretty good, happy that the leg speed is coming around. My quads started to cramp up a bit by #18, but it's over with

A nice 60' high cadence spin on the bike to loosen the legs up after the run ended off the day.

Friday is Colin's b-day, and it brings a 10,000m swim!!! Will be my longest swim ever.

Hi Daniel,

Great blog & fun to read about your Flag adventures with the guys.

How do your pickups work on the treadmill; Are you running for 1 min at the given speed and then taking a min rest ?
Thanks for the info and enjoy your swim today!

Thanks for the comments BP.
The pick ups we did yesterday on the treadmill were basically as you thought. We did 1 min at "x" speed, and then we stepped off the belt, and rested for 1 min (passive rest), then hopped back on the moving belt to start our next round.

It doesn't seem as tough as it sounds, but believe me it is.
