{Superbowl Sunday Workout}
Treadmill: 7 miles
First 3 miles = 26:11 minutes! (fast, for me!)
4 miles = 9:50 pace.
__________________________________________
I channelled my inner athlete for Superbowl Sunday as I went to the gym.
I wanted to run "long", but long on the treadmill for me is anything past 3 miles.
My legs felt GREAT at the start, so I cranked up the speed and ended up running the first 3 miles in 26:11minutes. That is faaaaaast for me!
I did another 4 miles at a veeery relaxed pace while watching a basketball game to round up to 7 miles.
The treadmill at my gym restarts every 30 minutes. That 4 second wait when starting over again makes me feel like I "cheated" and had a long rest. ha!
I have a new GOAL in mind : I want to knock out 10 straight treadmill miles!
What's the furthest you've run on the treadmill?
It would be such a huge accomplishment for me to get 10. I think treadmill running is a mental hurdle I'd like to break through. I keep telling myself - your legs feel lighter on there, the conditions/weather is controlled, you've got TV as entertainment!!! - there's no reason you can't do 10 here when you can happily do 13 outside!
Do you have any major gym pet-peeves??
I'm very easy going and it takes a looot to annoy me. You can slam weights, you can grunt and scream, you can leave the equipment sweaty and not wipe it down or you can even just sit and chat on the weights machine for as long as you want..whatever, I'm fine...doesn't bother me in the slightest.
But, maaaaan..when there's just me running, with literally 15 other free treadmills in a row, and you hop on to the one RIGHT next to me....ahhhhhh!
That's what happened today. I get all self-conscious wondering if my sweat is flying onto the dude next to me. bad times.
Post run:
My top has changed into two shades of orange. This is why I can't wait to get back to outside running in the winter - not nearly as much sweat!!

I have no words. Beyonce & the Destiny's Child reunion. CRAAAAAAAAZY.
Love.Love.Love.Love.
Pics from www.dailymail.co.uk
Alicia Keys did a beautiful rendition of the anthem in her own signature way. Love it. And that red dress, yes ma'am.
Beyonce was just BEYOND tonight! And I loved the reunion, wish it would have been longer! I was hoping for a Jay Z appearance as well! Oh girl, awesome treadmill run! Definitely mentally tough, you are a rock star :) That is weird that your treadmills at the gym start over every 30 minutes, that seems short.
ReplyDeleteAwesome treadmill run! And Happy Birthday week. Man, I am so bummed the Ravens did not choke lose it at the end. Oh well. Can forget about NFL til September.
ReplyDeleteListen, I cannot scream "Hail Queen Bey" enough! She had me screaming! I'm pretty sure I woke up the entire neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteAs for the treadmill run, I've never done it. Just really getting into running. I still have a long way to go.
xx
You rocked that treadmill run, go girl!!! The sweat is good, don't be afraid of showing it off:)
ReplyDeleteMan, I missed Alicia's performance. I'll have to google it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the longest I've run on a treadmill is. Somewhere less than 20 but more than 10. You can definitely do more than 10, but that's annoying that it stops every 30 minutes.
Amazing!! That's a looot of miles on the treadmill!
DeleteNice job with your treadmill 7!! I've never gotten past 5 and it was brutal for me. It's funny when you talk about the controlled weather/air and entertainment, it really does seem like it should feel easier but I always feel like 3 miles on the 'mill is SO much harder than 10 on the trails! That red dress that Alicia Keys is wearing is gooooorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the treadmill! I still struggle so much with the treadmill and agree that anything more than 3 miles on the treadmill seems long. I'm incorporating the treadmill in more now to help with speed training, but I'm not sure that I'll be running 10 on there anytime soon. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI also LOVED Beyonce and Destiny's Child tonight! Talk about motivation. They killed it!
Random question: do Canadian treadmills display both kilometers and miles, or are they generally just miles? I can't believe it turns off every half hour, that would kill me!!! Treadmill running is so hard I think I would lose all motivation in the time it took to get it running again.
ReplyDeleteDespite hating the treadmill, I once ran 15 miles on one. I don't know how I did it. I started off planning to do 8 miles on the treadmill and continue with 7 miles outside, but I somehow got into a groove and got it done. Apart from that run, the most I've ever done is 6, I think? It was kind of a freak run.
I hate the Superbowl and don't care about the half time show, but I did happen to see Beyonce and thought she was pretty good.
15 miles on that thing BLOWS my mind lady! wow!
Deletegreat question btw, I've gym hopped a looot, and mostly everywhere is in miles. I've only come across one gym that had the treadmills in km - I was very, very confused. lol!
Dreadmill runs are a no-no for me. I think the furthest I've managed is three miles. That's it. And even that is hard for me... Yikes. You know about my gym pet peeves by now... ;) But yeah, jumping on right next to you when there's tons of free ones? Not cool.
ReplyDeleteDidn't watch the Superbowl, started too late for my UK bedtime!!
congrats...i only can run up 10km in threadmill...u rocks!
ReplyDeleteWow 7 Miles is amazing on the treadmill! One time I run 20 km just because it was no chance i get out in the snowy freezing weather ...i think it was the first and last time ;-)
ReplyDeleteway to go with the treadmill run AND thumbs up on setting for a 10 mile goal! i cannot remember exactly how long i have TM'd...a couple hours?? the key is to switch things up - the pace, the incline, etc. and to have TV + music!
ReplyDeletegood thing the half time show was entertaining as the game was bad for my 49ers - eesh!
wow running those long distances on the treadmill is super hard for me! props to you!
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started on the treadmill. The most I've ever ran was 3, and that was a fluke. That was also me actually running for probably a mile and then taking it super easy the last two. :) Great job for you though!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when people run right next to me too. I need a buffer zone! I loved Beyonce & DC but was really hoping to see Jay Z too ~ I mean, it IS the Super Bowl!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by my blog! I look forward to reading yours - and Daily Mail is my daily gossip/all things news-ish favorite website :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the run! I don't know how long I've run on a treadmill to be honest. Probably about 13 miles. I think it's a really great way to mentally workout, just remember to play with the speed and incline a bit!
ReplyDeleteI am also annoyed when people get on the one next to me, and when girls wear full on make-up and their hair down.....honestly! Why are you even here??
I think I may be the only one who didn't watch the Superbowl. I love Alicia Keys though.
woohoo!! only 3 more miles and you'll be at 10 miles on the treadmill!!! you got this! the longest i've been on the treadmill, was for 12 miles, honestly it doesn't feel like that long to me lol probably because i get too preoccupied with the tv....i missed the beginning of the superbowl, at least now i know who sang the anthem, i couldn't figure out who it was singing in the other room on the tv lol.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the Superbowl but I heard it was eventful! I love your top and shoes btw!! Awesome treadmill run!!
ReplyDeleteYou can do 10 miles because your awesome!! The furthest I have ever ran on the treadmill was 1 mile and that was a huge accomplishment for me lol!! The one thing I really hate is when big guys leave the 100 lb plates on bench press or leg press, I'm strong but not that strong and it just makes me mad lol!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteOMG when the treadmill stops it is the absolute pits. Miserable. GREAT job, it's tough to get through.
I've had to do 14 and I WANTED TO LOSE MY MIND. Watching people start and finish their workouts is hard.
I e done 10 on the 'mill before so I believe you can too! I don't know how you wear long sleeves to the gym!? If I'm doing cardio then I have to go with a tanktop
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, glad you mentioned that. First time I ever wore long sleeves to the gym - BAD IDEA!!! DEAR goodness, it was so uncomfortable!! haha!
DeleteNice pace! I definitely agree that treadmill running is 100% mental. If you can rock out 10 miles, you'd be my hero, haha! The furthest I can do is about 3-4 and then I'm like "hmm...let me get off and go check Facebook or something" haha.
ReplyDeleteLoved Beyonce too! I have ALL of the songs stuck in my head this morning!
Awesome workout! I am currently in my 'no gym' phase and I enjoy working out at home with dvds. When the spring (or temps closer to 50's)come I will run outside. You can so do ten miles :) Great goal.
ReplyDeleteI love the Destiny's Child reunion...best part of the halftime show!
Have a great week!
outside running is theeee best!!
Deletei used to be hooked on dvds and loved the comfort of home, no problem with that!!
that red dress is fierce!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED B's performance. Seriously, let me get that outfit. it was so so sexy. I think the furthest I've ever run on a treadmill is 3 miles.. I agree with you that it's all mental. I really, really love running outside though. My gym pet peeve is when I'm strength training or something and people are staring at me... It makes me really self conscious. I also don't like when people get on the machine next to me, especially because I get really sweaty/smelly and it makes me fret that people are smelling me haha
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, that would be HIGHLY intimidating to have people staring while doing weights etc..why would ppl even do that?!?!
Delete*Faints* I did a 5k today...in 63 mins:(
ReplyDeletegood job!! don't downplay it!
DeleteAwesome time on your run! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I really hate it when people get on the machine next to me when there are a ton of other ones available too!!! My longest treadmill run is 12 miles, and I've done it a few times. It can get boring but I save my favorite tv shows for those days as incentive.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work with the treadmill miles! I think the longest I've done is maybe 6. I feel like I would have to be in just the right mood to make it 10 on the mill. But maybe I have just never thought about doing it. I know you can make it 10! You rock!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that person who got on the treadmill next to you wanted to race?!? Haha.
Beyonce/Destiny's Child was so fab! My mom let me know when the half time was going to be on so I could watch it :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot get that high on the treadmill either. I start to lose it.
I don't go to a gym, so no pet peeves, but I know a lot of people who hate it when someone hops on the treadmill next to them!
I love the orange top!
ReplyDeleteOh ouch, I thought it was bad mine resets at 60 minutes! I think I have topped out at 13 on the treadmill or around there 2 hours is enough. But some times the weather gets the best of me and I would prefer that to blazing hot/freezing cold/rain etc.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed the half time show! The game was so slow at that point and seemed like the rest would be boring so I was happy for a little bit of entertainment.
Way to rock that run girl!! The longest I've gone is 16 miles during marathon training and I HATED it. Haha! I'm much better at outdoor running, which is inconvenient when I live in Wisconsin :)
ReplyDelete16 milessss on that machine, daaaamn!
DeleteRunning inside is so hard for me too! The most I've ever done inside is 6 miles. I'm going to try to get up to 10 as well because I'm training for a half in April. I was thinking about making a playlist where all my favorite songs are at the end so I'll have something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteoooh super fun, a half in April!! That's fantastic :D
DeleteYou got it RIGHT -- that's the way to spend the SuperBowl!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really don't like when I'm teaching for the chicks with huge knockers to get in front of me with less than supportive, non padded sports bras on...pointing their goods at me for an hour. It's annoying...plus I get jealous with my flat chest, lol!
ReplyDeleteLOL, hahahahhahahaha! I love this.
DeleteI'm team flat-chested, too.
Awesome job on the treadmill! The most I had ever done on the tm was 8 miles...until Saturday. Then I did 14!
ReplyDeleteI did NOT think I could do it. I had planned on doing 18 (yes, I'm crazy), but ended up running outside for the other 4. It really wasn't bad at all, surprisingly! Thankfully I have a tm in my basement, so I don't have to worry about someone coming to run right next to me. I do not understand why someone would do that?!
GIIIIIIIIIIIRL! That is fricken amazing!
DeleteI hate it when I'm the only one IN the gym Our gym was 24 hours for "prime members", but I never went on Sundays because there was never anyone in there. Kind of scary
ReplyDeleteNice job on the treadmill run! That 4 second rest doesn't count as cheating at all. I think it would make your run even harder to have to stop and start again.
ReplyDeleteBeyoncè was phenomenal!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I hate that at the gym too grrrr! Although my gym is still super busy with the New Years Resolutions its normally quietened down by now!!!!
You can do that 10 girl!!!!!!! Xx
My longest on the treadmill is 5! I love your way though 3 fast and then 4 relaxed. I think I could do more if I took the pressure off at the end. I have never done close to 13 outside though. That is impressive!!!
ReplyDeleteBeyonce's performance was amazing! I loved every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteI have ran 5 miles on the treadmill and that was pushing it. Usually I won't do more than 3 or 4. I just get so bored on the treadmill and don't feel that it challenges me. I am addicted to running outside.
Nice treadie run! I struggle to do my longer ones on treadie too. I think I have got up to 90 minutes on there recently... it was a long 90!
ReplyDeleteI only just saw some clips of the reunion - AWESOME!!! How did I miss this :(
Destiny's Child KILLED it at the Superbowl...so much love for them! You're right about treadmill running being a mental hurdle...and while people say it's easier than running outdoors, it's great mental prep for an upcoming race. My max is 16 km (10 miles) and the weird thing is that I didn't feel like I was going to lose my mind by the end of it. It's a different story these days- 7 km on the treadmill is even pushing it!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing Destinys Child! It definitely brought back some middle school memories for me!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on those 7 miles on the treadmill! I think the most ive ever ran is probably 2-3 miles on those machines. Is funny because I JUST got in to running outside last year so, for MANY years of my life ALL i know was the treadmill and the elliptical!
ReplyDeleteI share your same pet peeve.UGH! But I actually hate when people do stuff like that in bathroom stalls. Like, why would someone get on the stall right next to you when every single other one is available?! lol idk call me crazy! :)
Destiny's Child Reunion!!! Nooo! How could I miss that :( I'm sure there recordings somewhere on youtube.
ReplyDeleteCongratz on the run :) I feel like your time is getting better ^^
