It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Two workouts, two outcomes. I have been taking full advantage of the working treadmills. The first run I would like to share was a very successful interval workout. I ran for 1.5 miles, walked, sprinted for a minute, walked, hills for a minute, walked, sprinted again and repeated. I felt great during the workout and after. Overall a good return to the treadmill.
Fast forward two days, to today, Saturday. My goal was 2 hours. I was on the treadmill for one hour 45 minutes, but I was not running the whole time. Far from it. I know running on a treadmill is different than running outside, but I excepted more. I ran for about 60% of the time. About a hour in my left foot starting hurting, more sore than painful, so I switched it up and walked at a good click on a 15% incline. I figure if I have to walk, I might as well get some hill work in. I ran the last mile of the workout. All and all, not my best performance. I did not consider that I have not had this type of pounding on my body in about a month. I am sore and have a blister starting on my big toe. Any advice on how to run with blisters? I will run tomorrow to fend off further soreness. I hope this doesn't slow me down too much and I am confident I can push through it.
