SATURDAY (Week 6)

5 Miles on treadmill at work.

THURSDAY (Week 6)

I completed 6 Miles on the treadmill (gym at work) today at a good pace. 6 Miles is a long way on a treadmill and not very exciting. However it is a great facility to have and it means being able to train while I'm at work. It would have been hard to fit it in today otherwise.

FRIDAY (Week 4)

Was working nightshift, but managed to fit in a 32 minute Speed Interval Training, using the treadmill. I find running the treadmill is not ideal - as you are not getting the same workout negotiating pavements and roads, etc. However, it is a lot better than nothing and speed interval programs are ideal and fit in well with my training plan. It also takes the pressure off my ankles, which have been feeling the pounding they have been getting on the roads!

TUESDAY (Week 4)

I was at work today. I had scheduled a speed interval exercise for today (200m bursts, followed by 400m jog recovery) - 30 mins total. However, the treadmill I had available was unable to cope with this complex program. I therefore completed a 21 minute speed interval training. 6.5kmh walk for 3 minutes, followed by 7 minutes at 16.3kmh, followed by 13.6kmh 1 min recovery, and 19kmh 1 minute run (4 reps, with 13.6kmh 1 min recovery each time). 3 minute walk at 6.5kmh as a recovery. Short workout, but still on track for this week's plan.
