Earl, those 400m intervals are tough

Date: May 21st, 2018 9:23 PM Author: pearl field Felt like I was going to fall off the treadmill @ 12mph. Had to take it down to 11.5 and barely made it through 4 quarter miles with quarter mile walks in between.
And I probably cheated the first few intervals b/c it takes the treadmill like .05 miles to get all the way up to speed. |

Date: May 21st, 2018 9:29 PM Author: Out-of-control state Not sure what brand of treadmill you’re using, but 12MPh on any of them seems unsafe; let alone a gym treadmill with dubious maintenance. I never go above 10mph and really anything over 9 is kind of sketch. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983299&forum_id=2#36100844) |

Date: May 21st, 2018 9:35 PM Author: pearl field Just whatever my apartment gym has. I'd never considered that danger--always assumed if I fell off it would be because I was too slow to keep up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983299&forum_id=2#36100892) |

Date: May 21st, 2018 9:43 PM Author: beady-eyed hairy legs I've had a couple of treadmills just decide to stop on me on speeds lower than that, and it is not fun. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983299&forum_id=2#36100932) |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:29 PM Author: Wine Mildly Autistic Pit I’ve had them stop many times. I’ve also tripped up and fallen off one, landed hard at like 7.5-8 mph
12 mph would hurt |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:34 PM Author: snowy reading party if I had to drive 15 minutes to the track and run, I probably wouldn't run at all. Also I usually run at night.
I'll admit the treadmill at my house may not be 100% accurate. But that's as fast as it goes as I run 1:15 intervals at that speed. |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:59 PM Author: snowy reading party i've been clear the whole time that I am running on a treadmill.
The best I can do on a track is a single 6 minute mile give or take and a single 400 at 59 seconds (with vomit and puckering asshold). |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:38 PM Author: hairless circlehead During LS my training workout was: warm up: skip, jog, fartlek 1200m; 800m <2:20; 400m <60S; 400m <60s; 800m <2:30. 3X week. 3 miles runs <6min/mile 3X week. And on the long run days, I went to gym and did strength work: chins/dips/some bench/some squat/lunges/boxing.
My body looked like a shorter version of Ashton Eaton, and I could do anything with it. Fighting shape, dangerous. |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:42 PM Author: Out-of-control state If you have hills accessible, do like 10 sprints up them. Add a weight vest over time if you want. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983299&forum_id=2#36105354) |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:43 PM Author: snowy reading party and by hills I mean a 5% incline on my treadmill.
I did run a mile at 7 mph at a 10% incline which is pretty good I think. |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:52 PM Author: Out-of-control state Do that over that 12MPH bullshit. It's what I do when I have to use a treadmill. I'm early 40's and still run low/mid 12's 100m/USATF coach. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983299&forum_id=2#36105462) |

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:45 PM Author: brilliant dashing piazza cumskin long hill intervals are crrr. you'll feel like death at the end but it's the best form of hiit and builds leg strength at the same time. again, real hills are way better than the treadmill and don't walk go as hard as possible.

Date: May 22nd, 2018 1:55 PM Author: Concupiscible market private investor you metabolize glucose almost entirely when working at higher intensities compared to long slow steady state cardio work where you body uses more fat for energy. If all you're doing is sprints/v02 max work then your body will only use the glucose stored in your muscles for energy (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983299&forum_id=2#36105492) |
|
Date: May 22nd, 2018 2:16 PM Author: brilliant dashing piazza cumskin during the workout this is true. this kind of high intensity training changes your body's metabolism during the recovery period and more fat is burned and muscle is built (which in turn causes more calories to be burned at rest over time).
also, unless you are glycogen depleted, you still need to run well over 10 miles before you start to burn fat when doing liss running. |
|
Date: May 22nd, 2018 2:18 PM Author: snowy reading party the other thing to consider is how much time you are spending doing this shit.
My normal work out with "sprints" takes about 25 minutes. Doing the slow hill run takes longer. |
|
Date: May 22nd, 2018 2:22 PM Author: brilliant dashing piazza cumskin do hill sprints, best of both worlds. you'll be amazed how difficult 8-10 sprints up a 150-200m hill can be. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3983299&forum_id=2#36105710) |
