Today Ryan and I couldn’t run until late so we hit up the treadmills at the workout room in my grandmas apartment place. I wasn’t sure whether to do ct or a fartlek because I don’t know if I’m in Rockford auburn. Since it’s so cold we had the whole place to ourselves, so I turned on food network and blasted Guys Grocery Games. I felt super hyped and good so I decided to just be optimistic and grind out a fartlek. Despite it being a treadmill, I had a very good workout. My first warmup mile was 6:58, then I did 4 miles of 60 on 60 off, switching between 6:40 pace and 5:27. Honestly I don’t think the minutes were completely accurate so I ended my very last one with a longer 5:27 to sort of make up. It was absolutely brutal, and I kept thinking I’d slow down the treadmill or something but I forced myself not to. Then I did another 6:57 to finish the 6, then ran at like 8:30 pace for a couple minutes to cool down a bit. Then I went and stood outside for like a minute and it felt amazing because I was so hot. Then stretched and went home and did a couple minutes of bands. Every part of today was a grind but I’m glad I got it done. Great day.
