I've decided I hate the treadmill with a passion like no other. From now on I'll only run indoors if and when the road is utterly impossible. Or impassable. Or I change my mind. The downside is I'm seriously beginning to wonder how I'm ever going to get past 60 miles a week without causing serious damage to both my marriage and my washing machine ( Read more... ) -

Easy build up starts again. All morning runs are on the gym treadmill at approx 9:22 minutes per mile. At least that's what the thing says. I noticed that some people run on a slight incline when using one of these, allegedly to mimick road conditions. I've set the incline at 2% for now.
Evening & weekend runs are on the road.
