The sickness continues... really didn't want to get out of bed today. really didn't want to run. god I hate being sick! ...so I made myself a compromise and ran 4 miles on the treadmill.
Distance: 4.0
Duration: 31:41
Pace: 7:55
After an easy 1st mile I bumped the pace up to 8 min miles for the second mile. Slowly worked my way down to 7:15 pace during the 3rd mile and then backed off to 7:47 pace for the final mile.
Incline was 1% to 1.5%. 1.5% seems like it feels the best with my stride, achieving the right balance of effort and power to make it feel natural.
Shortest run in about a month. The effort never felt that hard but at the same time I still really struggle ever getting into a rhythm on the treadmill... just need to make it a couple more months... *sigh*
On the bright side, the sickness hasn't affect my lungs (at least not yet). Normally when I get sick it always winds up progressing to my lung and aggravating my exercise induced asthma... instead, this is my second day in a row where I didn't even use my inhaler before the run. Running seems to have really strengthened my lungs.
