Today I did speedwork on the treadmill. I have no residual pain from last Sunday’s long run. Phew. I am lucky. I will still play it smart this week and not do any extra running. Stick to the plan.
Treadmill workout details:
Like yesterday’s Trainer workout, I tweeted during my recovery sets. It was fun. Here are my tweets, in reverse chron order:
My impression during this workout is that I can get my heart up much higher on the treadmill as compared with going to the track. So, I took the Heart Rate graphs from two different interval/speed workouts. The graphs are from the Garmin Connect site. I put them into photoshop, and superimposed them on top of each other. Here’s how it looks. I think I do work harder on the treadmill. But I work pretty dang hard on the track, too.
One thing that strikes me as odd is that the last two spikes in the treadmill workout graph are not higher than the first three spikes. I had bumped up the speed to get my heart rate up higher. And I was really dying on the last one! Yet those humps don’t look higher! Note that the first two humps in the treadmill graph are the highest because I did not warm up adequately. My bad!
