Run to Ekeby Friskis. Took a little extra loop in the flat parky place and then there was a large pause while I changed shoes and searched for the treadmills. Finally a little more on the treadmill. All the ones with a view of the football match going on outside were taken so I had to just stare at the wall.

Progression run on the treadmill. Of course my HR monitor would choose this session to decide to not work. Nightmare.
Plan was 30 mins at 6%, starting at 10.5 km/h and increasing to 11.5 km/h. I decided on a .5 increment every 3 mins to achieve that.

First 2 or 3 went ok. Working but manageable. The 4th one was where I started to suffer (10.8) but got through it. Kept going to 10.9 but this was a real struggle. Quads were feeling it a bit and I tried to hold the form as that seemed to make things better. Kept trying until the end of that and then increased to 11. Lasted about 10 s before I nearly fell off the treadmill so I dropped the incline to 0 and stayed at 11 for the 3 mins to try and recover.
That seemed to work so back to 6% and 11 for 3 mins. Did it but was still right at the limit so dropped the incline back to 0 again and shifted to a flat progression. 3 mins @ 4:13/k,4:03, I managed but had nothing to increase again so took another 2 mins @ 4:40 before finishing with 1 min @ 3:50.

This was super super hard and I was on the limit for a lot of it. As such the HR data would be nice to have to see what that was :(. Good to get done even if I didn't manage the goal paces etc.

Run home. Didn't bother changing shoes as they no longer needed to be clean. The hill was pretty rough. I was tired.
