I have added about 8 minutes to my "average" half marathon time over the last 4-5 months. I never really did "speed" workouts so this is a mystery. The only thing I've ever really even tried was the Yasso 800s. So warm up, run at 7.5 for 4 minutes and then walk at 3.5ish for 4 minutes. (This too was to run a 2 hour half).<br /><br />Come up with anything, I'd be interested to hear it!Beckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10260238987157763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479790493268535319.post-5103029591358946232011-06-04T20:44:09.151-04:002011-06-04T20:44:09.151-04:00Right this second, I am slacking on doing the dish...Right this second, I am slacking on doing the dishes.

It has totally changed my feelings about running on treadmills (I used to hate it and avoid it at all costs). Hmm, as far as other workouts, I have done 800 repeats (10 min warm up, 800s at 5k pace [4 to 8, depending on fitness level] with 400 m jog in between) and tempo runs (10 min warm up, build speed slowly for 10 to 20 minutes, 10 min cool down). Or you can do ladders (10 min warm up, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 800, 400, 200 at 5k pace with 200 or 400 jog in-between).Erin @ UntilYouTrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148335549002018981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479790493268535319.post-18940723307087818252011-06-02T23:15:36.640-04:002011-06-02T23:15:36.640-04:00I feel like I've been slacking on everything l...I feel like I've been slacking on everything lately... work, wedding planning, life in general. Yuck!<br /><br />I've had some tough speed workouts this week. On Tuesday, I warmed up for 5 minutes with the treadmill speed set to 7.0. Then, I cranked it to 8.3 (7:13/mile) for 400 meters, then went back down to 7.3, and repeated that six times before cooling down. Today, I did a mile at 7.0, the second mile at 7.5, the third at 8.0, and the fourth at 7.5.Richellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392437691492957659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479790493268535319.post-81518992927365615142011-06-02T23:06:45.727-04:002011-06-02T23:06:45.727-04:00I'm a firm believer that there is no such thin...I'm a firm believer that there is no such thing as a good workout on the treadmill.

It is hard to spice it up, I play with the incline and sometimes I crank up the speed to race the men on the mills at the gym to see who is the last one standing.
