For my 2 mile run today, I decided to do something other than run a straight 1% incline. I set the treadmill to a random program. It ended up to be more of a tall hill than random. It did make things more interesting, though. It started out flat, which is odd since I'm used to 1%. But then it popped up to 3% and eventually got to 6.5% about half way through the run. I ran at that incline for a while, but had to reduce speed and eventually knocked the incline down some before the treadmill was ready.
Interestingly enough, the treadmill said I burned 301 calories and SportsTracks says 305. My HR maxed out at about 180bpm. I was pouring sweat!
I think I'll try a program again. Maybe intervals.
I've been thinking about doing outside morning runs again. However, this morning it was raining. 34F rain is not my idea of an enjoyable run.
