Got it, will do ease it up a little bit.
Back to day 1
I did my 70min easy indoor treadmill run at a room temp of 22-24 celcius with my usual watch (garmin forerunner 35). Speed of the treadmill was at 10.0-14.0. Sometimes i felt strong so i increased the speed for 2-3minutes then lower it down to 10.5-11. Every treadmill is different so im not sure how this translates to pace. Here are the splits:
1st km: 5:02
4:30
4:21
4:18
4:32
4:08
4:32
4:39
4:28
4:21
5:06
4:49
4:34
4:13
15th km: 4:10
0.53 km: 4:16 min/km
Surprisingly, im running a pace beyond my expectations. I dont know if it's due to the cool room temperature or simply device inaccuracy in measuring my pace. Cadence was at 176 (average) in comparison to my usual 160+ cadence (running outdoors). I think the moving ground forces me to up my cadence. What do you think theEd?
But without a doubt, running indoors than outdoors (at 30celcius+) is better for the upcoming days. I feel comfortable and relaxed, running outdoors at that temp feels like torture. It's true when you said running on a treadmill hurts the calves more, at least i dont have to fight the heat though!! I get to focus more on my form and the actual running than mentally trying to survive the heat! Wew
Ave. Bpm is at 162, max is 185
