Wed 2/11 - PM 42 minutes, treadmill incl. 5 minute pickup, 5x 1 minute

While the track was in theory available, not feeling at all like making the trip in and out of town for it. Took a longish nap instead before getting going. Vague plans of what exactly to do on the treadmill to mimic an interval session, although I wanted to do something longer to start followed by shorter bursts. In the end went with a 15 minute warmup from 7 to 8.5 mph followed by 5 minutes starting at 10 and ending at 10.9. After a 4.5 minute recovery period averaging around 8 mph, ran five minute long reps at 11.1 followed by 90 second recoveries. As per usual, it felt much harder than what these paces would have felt like on a track, but I suppose the exertion level's the focus. Some stomach issues towards the end which likely curtailed the cooldown, also I simply lost interest in continuing much longer. Hopped off once the six mile mark was reached.
