Treadmill workout: Strangely fast

I don’t really have an explanation for this, but today’s treadmill workout was strangely speedy. Here are the splits:

1 km: 8:40/km
2 km: 9:20/km
3 km: 8:57/km

Yes, two of the three km were below nine minutes. Why, I can’t say. Two other notable aspects: my distance covered spiked up to 3.33 km and my BPM edged up a bit more, too. Both of these are unsurprising given the extra speed. The BPM is getting close to running territory, so I’ll keep an eye on it–but it definitely felt like a good, hard workout today, so for now I’m not overly concerned. Recovery was the same as usual.

The stats:

Speed: 6.5 km/h
Incline: 10

Pace: 9:01/km (9:22 km/h)
Time: 30:03 (30:03)
Distance: 3.33 km (3.20 km)
Calories burned: 343 (347)
BPM: 151 (148)
