Starting to pick up the pace a bit, but still feeling like I'm not using my top gear.
I totally missed the better route to #8 due to my map being folded! ha!
Orienteering race (Farsta) 24:42 [4]
This was one of my bummers of the weekend. I was really looking forward to head-to-head running during Sprint Camp, but I got completely confused when existing the forest and trying to make sense of the urban area, that I missed the train.
Paved Run warm up/down 6:00 [2] shoes: North Face Ultra Trail
To gym (walk home)
Treadmill intervals 17:00 shoes: North Face Ultra Trail
So apparently if you hit the 'STOP' button, you can still re-start your workout after the belt slows down. This is a handy way to end a high speed interval.
Banging the down button while running fast is not a good way to end a high speed interval. It makes your phone fall off the console and onto the belt, which of course, slingshots it backwards toward the unsuspecting recumbent bike people.

Did some surges, kept it short. It's Sprint Camp Eve Eve!
Ran out of doors! Not only is it a beautiful day, but it's time to translate my treadmill intervals to real life, and see what certain paces feel like.
Also, I have a theory now that because of the pull of the treadmill belt, running on a treadmill is actually good for increasing my leg turnover-- since I can press a button and force myself to turn my legs over more quickly than I could make myself in real life. Of course, there is some assistance in the pull of the belt, but I still think there is some training benefit. Like the time I was on a we-go team linky behind Eric Bone-- it was all about just turning my legs over so I wouldn't fall and be dragged like a wanted cowboy.
It's the week before Sprint Camp and I'm feeling good!
Approximately:
5:00 warm up
3x 2:00 ON (7min ish pace?) 3:00 rest (9-10min ish pace?)
