Lunch: Treadmill - 8 miles in 62 minutes. Did some strides for the first time since before Philly.

The newer treadmill goes faster than I thought. Put it down to what I though was the top speed of 5:12 pace and all of a sudden I was staring at 4:24 pace. I finished up, hopped on the sides, and put it up all the way to 14 MPH. Sounds like a jet taking off, but it is nice to have for something for hill sprints, strides, etc, when I need a treadmill.

PM: 30 minutes on the bike while Megan was on the treadmill. Then ab bench, pushups, and stretching

I love putting the TM at 14mph and running for as long as I can...fun to see the stares you get when it is going that fast!

Not too many people running faster than 8 MPH in the complex that I've seen, so I think I just *might* have impressed the weightlifters, if just a little.

Looks like you had a hard workout yesterday!

I'm not aware of a treadmill in Salt Lake that goes faster than 12 mph.

You didn't get flung off the back?

Are you saying I can't keep up? :-)

I didn't try running on it, but I did hit some in the 12.5-13.5 range for a few stretches. I straddled the belt and let it fly after I finished.

I pretty much hit a wall at 4:20-4:25 pace on 200s on the track. I've got better at running faster, but my top end speed has remained pretty muchthe same.
