Today was 5 miles on the treadmill. I got home at 6:00 and didn't want to do the whole run in the dark. And I REALLY wanted my iPod, so I went to the gym. I don't know if I would characterize the middle 3 miles as marathon race pace, because I don't know my goal marathon race pace right now. But my splits were: 10:00, 8:57, 8:57, 8:57, 10:00, all at 1.0 incline, which is the same as running on level ground outside. The middle 3 miles felt harder than a 9:00 felt to me just 6 weeks ago, but I didn't feel any more tired than normal at the end of the run. It was fun to change it up a bit.
