Tuesday's Interval Run

Tonight I run two and a half miles on the treadmill at the North Pure Gym. It was my first time at the north facility. The facility was really nice, much larger and the was not as crowded.

I jogged on the treadmill for forty five minutes increasing the speed for one minute than decreasing it to about 3.5 MPH. Each increase was a little faster than the previous, starting at about 6 MPH and continuing to about 7.5 MPH. I ran the 7.5 interval twice than decreasing the speed of each interval until the speed reached six MPH. I was hoping to extend my last interval for ten minutes, however I gave up after two minutes and walked the remaining time.

Some time in the near future I need to go out and do the trail. I was planning to this evening but I was too tired so I just went to the dressing room and left.

In conclusion, I did not feel as good as the last time I did intervals. That time each interval was two minutes, this one was one minute. I think it was running in the new location on new machines. [Later: I was thinking about it and I think I had the incline set to two percent. Normally I have the incline set to zero. There, I don't feel quit so bad!]

Here is my HR chart.
