This was horrible. Decided to do a tempo run on the treadmill - the plan was 10 miles with 5 miles at half marathon pace (5.20 milling / 3.20 kms ) - no problem. After 6k warm up on the treadmill I upped the pace (using a 1% gradient) but it felt incredibly hard - wanted to drop out after 5 minutes but managed to struggle on for 10 minutes when I needed a loo stop. It that took longer than planned. (who needs to spend more than 5 minutes in the gym taking a cr*p?). Did another 10 minutes but was pasted by the end.

Not sure why it was so hard running on the treadmill. Was it because 1) I am not used to it; 2) I am just tired; 3) I am not used to running at this pace;4) I am a pussy and should have just tried to hang on. Think it is a mixture of the four but can't help but think it was 4 - running on a treadmill gives you nothing else to think about. Shame my heart rate monitor was not working properly because I would have been interested to see what it got up to.
