Notes
Progression starting at 6:00 and cutting 10"/mile until unable to progress. Got a membership at 24 hr fitness since I am too rich (by $1200 annually) to qualify for a free rec center membership. Was nice to run into Luke there. Started off feeling pretty decent but I knew after the first drop that this would be pretty challenging. The treadmill only goes down to 5:00 so I knew that would be a good end goal but around 5:30 pace I could feel a side stitch starting to threaten. I marched on even though I almost pulled it dropping from 5:20 to 5:10. It's always a matter of settling into a rhythm after each step down and I eventually got there with the 5:10. Luckily the treadmill enabled me to control everything so I knew all I had to do was stay on the belt. Near the end of the 5:10 and moving to 5:00 the stitch was building but I decided to try the 5:00 and take it a tenth of a mile at a time. The stitch became unbearable about a minute in so I called it there. (Mph progression: 10.0-10.3-10.6-10.9-11.2-11.6-12.0). I was pretty unfocused with the lack of team and road stimulation so I ended up watching NFL Sunday Countdown to fix my gaze. Not ideal. Happy to get a decent workout in since I hate trying to do anything quality on the treadmill. Hoping to get back outside next week.
