Another 3x1 Mile Interval

Daily Quote: "Ask yourself, Can I give more? The answer is usually yes." --Paul Tergat, Marathon World-Record Holder (2:04:55)

My upper legs feel better today, therefore I'll attempt an interval workout as scheduled in "Runner's World, Run Less, Run Faster."

9:30 a.m. Intervals. Life Fitness Treadmill set at a 1% grade. Warm-up: 2 miles @ 6.0 mph (10 minute mile pace). Intervals: 3x1 mile at 8.3 mph (7:14 minute mile pace). Jog Intervals: ONE minute @ 6.0 mph. Cool-down: one mile @ 6.0 mph. Cardiac Drift: 187 bpm. Note: my maximum heart rate is 190 bpm.

Tough workoout, but better than the last time I did this exact speed workout on January 4, 2008, when I my cardiac drift maxed out at 190 bpm. I am showing improvement!
