5.25 miles on the Treadmill (Repeats)

5.25 miles at 8.02 pace w/ avg HR of 164

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1st mile in 9.03 @ 150

2nd mile in 7.72 @ 163

3rd mile in 7.70 @ 167

4th mile in 7.72 @ 169

5th mile in 7.73 @ 173

extra in 2.23 (8.92 pace) @ 163

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was a repeat/interval session where I ran a 1 mile warmup then did 4 three-quarter mile repeats at 7.33 pace with a quarter mile easy (9min/mile) interval in between. Finished up with a half mile cool down.

As my previous blog post showed, I wasn't really feeling it for this session, and consequently I was struggling on each of those repeats, especially the last one. I had to do all sorts of mind tricks/games to keep from just staring at the readout on the treadmill anticipating the end of the repeat.

Still, it turned out to be a great run, at least from the look of the numbers. I'm thinking, though, that my HRM batteries are getting ready to go, as I don't really trust those averages that are showing up. I'll change the battery tonight and see what happens.
