Today I needed to get in a good work-out and I decided to let my 43 be the work-out.  I did a continuous movement (even the recovery is still in motion) interval work-out using my treadmill.  I’m fortunate that my treadmill can go up to a 30% incline grade!!

I set my speed at 4.5 mph (13:20 minutes/mile) and kept that speed through-out.  I started at 3% incline and used that incline as my recovery.  I did 1 recovery minute and then 1 minute with a 30% incline until I had done 43 at the max incline.  (I actually went just past the 86 minutes so that I could do 6.5 miles during the interval training – 86:19).  I walked slowly with no incline until I finished 7 miles.

This work-out got my heart rate up and kept it up almost the entire time.  It was AWESOME!!!

I’m off to finish my week-end chores!
