iTREAD 5

60 mins

I was disappointed today as I had to stop this itread early as my foot began hurting. I'm going to get myself down to the running shop tomorrow and see if they can reccomend me some new shoes that might help.

This was the "indoor marathon training" iTREAD and it was quite fun. I actually thought I could have finished this had my foot not started hurting. As it stands I ran 6.5km in 40 minutes - so still an improvement on yesterday.

The format is 6 minutes work, 1 minute rest and this makes the workout fly by. There are 2% and 4% hills in phase 2, and sprints in phase 3. I really like the sprints and was able to run at teh top running speeds.

For the endurance runs I am multiplying Graces MPH speeds by 1.5 instead of 1.6 to get a slightly lower KPH than the top running speed, but still closer to running than jogging. This gave me a speed I was comfortable with without being too slow.

Not sure what Phase 4 is like as I had to stop.
