I am spaniel - Crusher of Treadmills
I've got a fever...
Last time I was in shape and doing 800 repeats in 2:24ish, I could tell how I was doing within a second or so. Now, more out of shape, I'm only within 3-5 seconds.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Thanks TChuck. I left the track because it was so very hot and went to the gym. I ran my second 1.5 mile interval on the treadmill closer to 7...I think it was 7:15ish. I was able to do it on the tmill no problem. Is there that much difference in the tmill from the track? Sorry to OP for the hi-jack.
Non ducor, duco.
Treadmill could have been off.
Thanks for smashing all my dreams, Scoutie.
I do what I can. But, it is one of the reasons why I dislike treadmills. If you're gonna use one, go by time and RPE.
You should write a book. Things I Don't Like by Scout. in 4 Volumes. Crackberries and treadmills get their own chapters. Read it and learn.
Dude also candiced at work in a cleanroom bunnysuit. Seriously.

I agree you want to find a pace you can hit consistently and the first few reps should feel relatively easy, but I have to disagree about the gasping for air on the last one though. By the last rep you should be feeling tired and it will no doubt be more difficult (percieved effort) to hit your goal time on the last than it was the first, but if you are gasping you're going to fast.
