I’ve been doing a lot of treadmill and indoor track running this winter due to the icky Wisconsin winter weather. When on the treadmill, my favorite workout is a minutes workout – I usually do one minute @ goal half marathon pace alternated with one minute @ slightly faster than easy run pace. It makes the time go by much faster!
great workout!! and yea, going for minutes on a treadmill is usually a lot easier than distance, all that decimal math is tricky when you’re tired. 😛
I love my treadmill and do all sorts of running on it – long, speed drills….
Funny – today I was showing our event venue to a couple for a wedding reception and the girl was wearing running shorts and a long sleeve top (it was about 20 degrees most of the day) – definitely a runner!!!
So far I have done 5 runs on the treadmill this winter…and I am pretty sure the worst of the weather is not yet over. I don’t do any fun workouts on it…I just focus on not falling off:)
It’s currently 9 degrees here, but it’s below 0 with the windchill (I think they said around -12). And there’s 4 inches on top of a nice layer of ice on the ground. I’ve been doing my fair amount of treadmill running this winter, but I’ve still gotten out there in the snow a bunch. I cannot wait until shorts day return! As soon as it gets to 40 degree I’m in shorts 🙂
And the best perk of being able to run in non-winter conditions? Less laundry!
