Today was a 4 miler run on the treadmill ... yuck that's right the boring treadmill. I broke the run in 1.5 miles segment with a series of pushups at mile 1.5, then hanging windshield washers at mile 3.0 and completed with some lunges. I did not perform the stronger leg routine today due to the soreness still quite present in my legs... I used the random hill feature on the treadmill instead for the second 1.5 mile stretch and powered through slopes ranging from .4% to 1.5%. I think that strategy worked quite right. I don't expect more soreness as a result of battling the treadmill tonight. As I continue strengthening my legs I should be able to incorporate the stronger legs routine after Tuesdays and Thursdays run. In the mean time tomorrow is a day of rest, before the schedule 6 miler on Saturday ...
Stats ... Distance 4.5 miles ... about 7.0 mph average. Heart rate at the end of mile 4.5 was 152 bpm.
