Pro tip: get a car to avoid running.

Deluxe pro tip: use it to go to a McDonalds drive through.

Trade it in for a Subway at least Slarfar, and keep away from the meatball subs.

That's a lie, unless you mean red plat.

So I hit 14.0km/h for 35 minutes a couple of weeks back, been really struggling with going harder - like the wall is coming. Still sweating, still trying, its frustrating...would be great if I could do this at 15.

If that ever happens I probably wouldn't push the speed but push the time up towards 40 minutes and longer if I could. Treadmills are boring but its more fun than prancing around every 2 minutes after a set of weights.

How's everyone else been doing?

do you incorporate any high interval training into your running? like, running at 90% of your capacity (almost sprinting) for 90-120 seconds, then 3-5 mins back at normal pace, then repeat, etc.?

will really increase your vAT (aerobic threshold)

Swish, can you make a video of this when you attempt it? I know I'd really like to see your athletic prowess on display, and I am sure others would too.

No not on a treadmill at least. I'm going to get back into some outdoor running as well (weather permitting) at which point I'll be doing probably smaller sprints (30 secs) at maybe 3 minute intervals?

Til then I think I've hit the wall on the treadmill - 14.2km/hour (constant) for 35 minutes seems unattainable, but I'm going to keep attempting it til it happens [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

sprint for 4 minutes followed by 3 minutes of walking. do that 4 times in a row. you just began high intensity interval training. congratulations
