7 easy at 8:30 pace, then .75 at 6:18 pace (CV), followed by .25 at 8:30, then .75 at 6:18 pace, followed by .25 at 8:30, then .75 at 6:18 pace, followed by .25 at 8:30.  Wanted to finish strong, and this was pretty close to finishing strong for me.

Do you run on a treadmill or do you have your Garmin set for quarter mile splits? How do you get all these splits for .75 and .25 miles at certain paces. Well, however you do it, that is a very nice run. You have just been out of control these last few weeks. Great training!

Jeff -- I ran this workout on the treadmill at the gym, which I feel is calibrated very well. (I take flack for running so much on the treadmill, but I like it.) However, I know calibration makes a big difference and don't trust my home treadmill which is a decent treadmill, but it is not calibrated nearly as accurately. Looking back on my workout, I should probably have tried to do another .75 to get to approximately 20 minutes of what Tinman calls critical velocity (CV) running.

Oh dont worry about the flack you take. I did at least a full yr of training on a treadmill and even ran more miles on them then off. I feel better about doing speed work on one just to make sure I am getting it in at the right speed. And you did a great job hitting those fast ones. Your recovery is alot faster then what I normally run my at. Your are going to just do awesome at SGM for sure.

If I could be as fast as you, I would do all my training on the treadmill. You are doing great. Keep it up. If you ever do decide to do some outside running, you could come run with the Bingham Buttkickers.
