$3 burgers at McNellie's last night with a good crew including Sacker, Kristi, Mike, Stuey, Jordan, Spencer, Jerry, and yo. We had our first opportunity to try a couple beers from the Coop brewery, the newest local brewery. I was mightily impressed, they were truly flavorful beers and I look forward to their additional offerings, in addition to the Native Amber and Belgian Style Golden Ale we encountered.
I would say it was a pretty relaxing day by all accounts, as soon as the highly abrasive 14mph treadmill workout was completed. Jordan and I were trying to imagine what this intensity would be like for a legit miler/5k type and we were basically calling it like a 5x800 w/ 1' recovery at like 1:52-4 or something. I imagine it can be done but I don't know if even the guys that have more leg speed than I do would be able to actually complete the workout, because of the recovery. I thought I would be able to do 2' on the last repeat but once I went over the tipping point, I just couldn't recover, so 1:38 was the longest I held out. I'm eager to see what this is going to translate to for a 5k, because it's such a different preparation than I've ever done. I'm concurrently getting fit in other respects, but it's been nice to utilize speed work without having to worry about footing and left turns. I've heard about a few different individuals who endorse training on the treadmill, either to make use of the incline and speed functions or just to forsake an absense of conducive venues.
