So not remotely in the mood to run this run.  Stressful shift yesterday then a 5:03 plank in the PM (which btw I am estatic about : D).  It was compounded by the fact that I only could sleep 5 hours even when I went to bed at 1140pm.  I got up, heard the rain/sleet and knew I was NOT running to the rec center.  I got there a few minutes before 6am feeling pretty sleepy.   Glad to see a neighbor hitting the mills as well.  Apparently the rec center opens at 5:30am and all this time I thought it was 6am!!  I would love if it were open at 4 or 430am but the patrons there just laughed and said "no way".  This is SW day.  I did last weeks workout but slightly faster.  After the first set I could tell my hip and knee had taken a hit Monday morning and my form started to crumble as my inner knee was getting tender.  It is just bruised and my hip is out of alignment.  Nothing I can't work out over the next week, I believe.  I was pretty achy at work yesterday from catching my fall.    Enough of the whining here is what I ran:  3 mile warm up at 2 % (8:57, 8:30, 8:03), 2 @ 6:44, 1 @ 6:40 (1 %), then 1 @ 8:06, then 1 @ 6:44, 1 @ 6:40 (1%), 1 @ 6:30-6:35, as I upped the MPH to 10 gradually for the last lap ( 0.5% grade), cooldown 4 miles at 8:06 AP at 1 %14 miles total.  SW AP for 8.5 miles= 7:01.

I do not know how you go that fast on a TM (or at all, for that matter!) I just can not push myself on a machine for longer than a little sprint. I guess I need you to teach me how to be a real MILL runner! NICE JOB!

holy cow... 5:10 straight-arm plank almost killed me.

solid tm miles.

and you just had to get 5:10 : D. So what is your verdict? straight, versus elbow? I am waiting for my elbow scabs to go away before going for that 5. I have put some serious pressure on them in such a short time. Maybe it has to do with strong elbows to shoulders?

i think the straight-armed flavor of planking is more difficult to palate, if for no other reason than it hurt more while doing it. i'm not any more sore than the elbow plank the next day (arms maybe a bit more shaky, though...)

...although i got a better cardio workout toward the end of the plank than during my run...

Straight arm is for sure harder!!! Just do the elbow plank on a nice cushy mat like I do!

Awesome treadmill workout Julie! This will motivate me to improve the quality/pace of my runs on the mill. Keep it up!
