Speed drills

Well, I am still not quite sure how fast I'm supposed to be going, but this workout helped me figure out what "too slow" is.

I started with 10 minutes warm up then switched to a 8 minute set of 30s/30s.  I set the treadmill at 7.7mph for "run", but three and a half minutes in, I still wasn't climbing past 170bpm.  So, I manually increased the speed to 8mph (7.5 min/mile) and that seemed to be better.  Unfortunately, I was so distracted by my speed that I missed my one-minute rest and plowed right into my 5 minute set of 45/30.  I'll do better next time.

I keep saying that.  I really do mean it though.  I'm trying.
