Treadmill run: Sweaty and a little cheat-y

But not really cheat-y, more like semi-interval-y.

I stopped once a few km in to retie my laces, as they felt like they were loosening. I also slowed the pace down a few times for about 20 seconds or so, then went back to the regular pace. Running on the treadmill is a much more sweaty and tiring experience than trail running, even if the pace on the readout claims I’m going slower than I would be outside.

But it was cooler and showering and I just didn’t feel like running in the rain today, so I chose to go through what was almost certainly a worse overall experience to avoid getting a bit damp (I am still sweating profusely as I type this).

Still, I had an overall pace of 5:47/km on the Garmin with a BPM of 148, which seems a bit strange, since I had the treadmill set to a pace of 7:03/km–yet the pace and time to complete 5K totally checks out.

I’ll take it, though. Now to continue my post-workout sweat.
