Ran 4X3 minute intervals on a treadmill this afternoon. I set the incline to 5 (out of 15) and ran for 3 minutes at a pace of 5.8. The first interval didn't feel so bad, but it was definitely hard enough by the last interval. In between intervals I put the incline back to 0 and slowed down to 5.0 initially, but gradually increased back to 5.8 before cranking up the incline. Knees are holding up better than I expected!!! I focused on form while I was running on the incline- good solid lines between the hip-knee-ankle and even distribution of weight on all quadrants of the foot. It seemed to help anyway. |
