ot. buy no things

[cvmom]

[quote=FlyerInHi]I bought a pressure cooker to make healthful meals so I can stay young and good looking. Someone told me it’s the lowest price ever.

Much too late for me to stay young or good-looking, but I bought exactly the same thing! It was $78, I see it has already gone up considerably since Friday.

Some news reports I’m reading suggest Black Friday sucked for retailers.

I did not buy one single thing (besides food and gas).

But that was only because I was on the road all thanksgiving weekend LOL.

I did buy a few things this morning to take advantage of Cyber Monday discounts and free shipping.

Cyber Monday seems to be really busy as far as I can tell looking at the head lines (sites going down due to too much traffic etc…).

Seems good to me (biz wise).

Just kidding , if you are holding 8:40 average for a few miles already that’s not bad at all.[/quote]

Make that 8:06 as of today

That’s great. Faster than I run an average base run.
Do you have a heart rate monitor to tell you how hard you are working? Perceived effort? How would that compare to if you really raced the same distance? You run every day right? Daily run effort should usually be about 70% as hard as a 5k. Thats kind of a generally accepted point of view for every day recreational runners, which I think you said you are, but certainly not set in stone. Do you warm up some? Or going from zero to 8:06 per minute feels o.k.?

Did I give you an idea for something else to buy? I like Garmin running watches. .

Sorry, I should have clarified, the 8:06 was done on a treadmill with an incline, as was the 8:40 previously. I doubt the time would translate to an actual marathon on a road with different terrain. I think time on treadmills, even with an incline, appear much faster than on a real road. I did try to use Google Fit on my smartphone and borrowed my friend’s FitBit when I did run on the road, and there didn’t seem to be that much of a difference in the time, but maybe I chose an easy path HA!. Google Fit is off by about .25 miles

My first mile is usually hell, because my legs are sore. Starting my second mile, the I can’t feel the soreness. Starting the third mile, I can’t feel my legs, lol. I don’t stretch or warm up (I guess I should).

Are you calculating equivalent paces with in incline? According to this ,http://www.hillrunner.com/training/tmillchart.php, incline makes a pretty big difference. Some people say they are slower on a treadmill some say faster. 1% incline is supposed to cover lack of wind resistance at any pace. That’s assuming a comparison to a calm day outside on level ground.

I don’t know 🙂

The treadmill spits on the miles I ran and the time 🙂
Maybe it’s off…

I set the pace to about 7.6 for the first 2 miles. The program I use on the treadmill starts off with a 0.5 incline for the first 2 minutes and than gradually ramps up to 1 to 1.5 with a 30 second interval around 3 and then back to 0.5 and back to 1-1.5 and then back to 0.5. Toward the last mile, I sometimes need to drop the pace of to around a 7.4

I think I’m probably faster on the treadmill, because I set the speed above what I’m normally use to running on the road. It forces me to keep up. If I running on the road, I don’t think I push myself as hard. The treadmill is also much easier on my feet. I didn’t think it would make a big difference. But I think what gets me to stop running sooner isn’t my heart or lack of breath, it’s leg/foot fatigue. Orthodics helps a lot but I can still feel much more running on the road than on a treadmill. In my work gym, we also have a treadmill that only moves based on your running. I haven’t tried that yet, but that’s suppose to be more realistic. Myabe I should run on the road more. I use to, but ever since I moved offices, it’s a little more of a challenge.

The heart rate “monitor” on the treadmill (again probably not accurate) says around 167

[NotCranky]

Few people know what their true max hr is but 177 is a pretty high percentage of max for anyone! That would be like an intense race effort unless you have a really above average max. My max is in the 180’s probably mid to low . My HR monitor on the Garmin and the treadmill are always the same , maybe +or – 1, but you can check that.

I never use those programs , I choose manual mode and make adjustments to the treadmill to what I want as needed.

I had a typo, 167, not 177…lol.

broke down and got an XBR75x910c yesterday. I worked really hard over the Thanksgiving and felt I deserved a nice reward.
