treadmill Sunday

Ran 5.5 miles on the treadmill. One mile warm up (long run pace) followed by 4x1 mile tempo runs. The tempo speed roughly 30 to 1:30 minute faster than the long run pace. I ended with a half-mile cool down at the long run pace. The tempo runs are not part of a fancy plan. I also was on Sam (our son) watching duty and so had to check on him and the house if he had not come in for a visit during the last mile or so.

Ate 190 calories during the run. I don't need to eat when running less than ten miles but was testing out Powerbar gel blasts. I don't want to try anything new on big running days and so like to test out new gels/food/drinks on shorter runs. Drank about 0.75 liters of water. My need for water goes way down when running indoors and with a good fan.

I could tell my legs were not 100% before getting on the treadmill as a result of yesterday's run but it didn't seem to affect me at all.
