I just ran on the treadmill again for the first time since the summer and remembered how much it helps me. I did a long run on Friday of 18 miles a bit slower than I would have liked, around 12:10's. I should have done 10 the day before and just haven't had the energy. I used to be a bit of a treadmill nut and could do runs of 15 and 20 miles on it if I had to because of the weather. At any rate, the treadmill is a pace taskmaster for me and although I only ran 3 miles, I got them in in 28 minutes. Getting some faster, for my Clydesdale body anyway, will definitely help with the longer runs and get my endurance up a bit. It is like golfing, one good shot makes up for the futility, so does one good run.
Anyone see that the guy who won Philly did it in 2:15? That averages 5:15 miles for those playing at home. It always amuses the hell out of me that I could stand at mile 25 without having run the previous 25 miles, race that guy to the finish and he would still kick my butt!
