Treadmill workout 114: Breaking the time barrier

I seem to be trending close to a 9:00/km average or even slightly below it lately, which is nice in that it means I’m getting faster and presumably stronger, increasing my stamina. Today’s workout was the same, though the BPM was up a fair bit, but not to an actual alarming extent.

Looking at the weather forecast, my hope for mild and not-wet weather to resume outdoor runs is not looking great, with highs forecast to be single digits over the next couple of days and plenty of precipitation seemingly on the way. Maybe next week! (Although the 10-day forecast is also a bit poopy at the moment, but that could change.)

Still, today’s workout was good and I am glad.
