Treadmill pace conversion?
|
http://www.hillrunner.com/training/tmillchart.php
This about right? Suggests I need to dump about :20s/mile for equivalent effort
Or just set it to 1% to be about parity?
Eg 8:20 pace on road equals 8:00 pace on treadmill at 0.0

The pace on my treadmill is ridiculously innaccurate. I'm running at what would easily be a low 7 pace and that fucker tells me I'm only doing 9 minute miles. Lame!

Damnit that's what I figured, go off effort then. Sigh

Why is op adding a treadmill?
I feel like using a treadmill is fine, but it ultimately a subtly different exercise. So it's best if you've acclimated before just throwing it into your routine. I
also thought OP has the means to accomplish his milage/pace goals
I find treadmill miles harder generally, I know everyone says it's the opposite.

I just got slapped on 3 week long business trips in the next 5 weeks. In Vegas currently and zero motivation for 5am pace efforts , the other places won't be any better. Blows away my swimming/biking too
I'm annoyed but I should be able to make it on the road for 50% of my miles I think
Plan for tomorrow is set the treadmill to 8:00 for an hour with a puke bucket next to me
Today ima practice in the wave pool doe, will try to get barelled for as long as they let me

While I do hate my treadmill...I love it just a tad bit more. I'm able to get more workouts in, I can use it for heat training, and I can watch movies while I run.
I also discovered that the 15% max incline setting is fantastic power hike training.

Don't knock the treadmill.
In my case I can take the kids with me, knock out a Netflix show, and maintain a base effort run (or harder) all at the same time. Rediculously efficient.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why you'd use one. Just wanted to understand why OP was switching it up this late in teh game of prep.

150+ on Pace runs, that's your goal.

response 1: go faster you lazy bastard
response 2: tell them to screw off, you're a paying customer and you're training.

I left an impressive spray pattern of sweat on the machine, I'll take a pic this time
like seriously, I had no idea what my sweat pattern on the treadmill would look like, it just flies out all over the ground and on the edges kind of disgusting lol

Treadmill attempt 2.0 after lunch, not quite as sweaty heh
4 miles at 8:00 pace and 1% incline. Feels good man. HR hit 150 right near the end, steady climb in the 140s after mile 2 or so.

Since I've been using mine for heat training (hottest part of the day, no fans, no ventilation) you should see the sweat carnage.
I come in the house and my daughter asks if I've been playing in the sprinklers.I drape a towel over the display to both protect it and also because I can't stand seeing that mileage slooowly tick by.

Wow.
I usually have a hand towel on the cup holder. Head/hair is definitely the worst.
