This morning at the end of my workout I did the stamina treadmill workout again. This time I started at 11.0 mph through the 8 rounds. This was very challenging. By the time I got to the 4th round of sprints I was gassed. That 30 second rest felt like it wasn’t enough.
Next time I will do it again at 11.0 mph.
Update: I did this workout 2x this past week and got some decent results. This morning I ran at 10 mph for most of the working sets (6 of 8). The last two, I ran at 10.5 and 11 mph. I broke a sweat after my regular workout. I’ll report back with the 11.0 mph and see how that goes.
Here’s a workout that I’ve tried a couple times. The first time, I couldn’t keep up with the 12 mph pace during the 2nd or 3rd set, so I turned it down to something more manageable, e.g., 8.0 mph.
Today I attempted it again. This time I set the treadmill to 9.0 during the working sets. I felt like it was bit easy to manage, so I raised the speed to 10 mph. It felt more strenuous when I attempted it that fast. Next time I’ll set it for 10 mph and report back.
