I'm too lazy and unmotivated to be a good student.<br /><br />I've never done speedwork. It does sound easier on a treadmill, but I'm still convinced they are man killers sent to us by Satan.

I thought I'd have all of this free time with my days off, but no. This has nothing to do with your post.

Condolenses on being worldly dumb. <br /><br />I like that I can get in longer runs on the mill since my kids can play and not be bored in the jogger. (anything much over 7 is pushing it for LBM to remain happy) But I would always rather be outside!<br /><br />I hope you guys have a Happy Holiday!Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-12105118816601446172011-12-22T09:39:06.172-05:002011-12-22T09:39:06.172-05:00I dislike treadmills.

I wish I could workout mid-day but I don't see that happening anytime soon.<br /><br />Hmm...the treadmill. I am going to try with all my might not to run on the treadmill this winter. I think it does weird things to my body. Although it is good for "emergency" situations like hurricanes, ice storms and such. I think doing speedwork on the treadmill is better than doing nothing at all but I think mentally, doing it on the track or flat surface is most effective because you have to actually think and adjust.Jessica Karazsia (@irun26at8)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616274772894665823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-78637176014190154822011-12-22T09:07:32.445-05:002011-12-22T09:07:32.445-05:00104%?

I find that I make myself work harder on a treadmill because I'm bored. Outside, I just cruise along.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506087947077839388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-57193278843722966122011-12-22T09:02:26.880-05:002011-12-22T09:02:26.880-05:00That is a great grade and I never thought you were...That is a great grade and I never thought you were not smart! <br /><br />I hate Treadmills, hate hate hate them but maybe if I did intervals I would enjoy it more!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000663314398947348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-61232034047072122372011-12-22T08:46:09.523-05:002011-12-22T08:46:09.523-05:00I don't think you are stupid.

But whatever.<br /><br />Treadmills are something I usually use when it's either extremely dark/dangerous outside (hello ice!) or if I'm on travel for work and don't know good running routes. <br /><br />I love my bike trainer though. It makes it easier to do targeted workouts.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974235202743391870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-91453596856410547002011-12-22T08:30:54.469-05:002011-12-22T08:30:54.469-05:00My daughter has school today and tomorrow yet.

I know all the other schools around here are either done for the week or done after a half day today so I'm not sure why our district is different this time around. Keeps us sane for another couple days since she LOVES school and tends to piss her sister off pretty good while she's home.Sweet and Savory by Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958540100750347527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-15858166204182024562011-12-22T08:29:17.323-05:002011-12-22T08:29:17.323-05:00I like speedwork on the TM too...although then aga...I like speedwork on the TM too...although then again I like the treadmill a lot more than most normal people.

But actually doing it outside is not so much fun. <br /><br />If you want a good TM workout, start at 6.0mph and increase 0.1mph every minute up to whatever you want (say 8.0), then go back down just as slowly. It's a killer workout and keeps me busy pressing buttons the whole time.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415512134390374929noreply@blogger.com
