First day on the treadmill and it honestly wasn't as bad as I remembered. This time though I raised the incline of the treadmill to enhance the workout; typically treadmills work the muscles a lot differently than running outside because a runners stride changes and because of the moving surface. To compensate, increasing the incline of the treadmill slightly (2-3 degrees will do fine) will help to work you out better.
I ran about a mile, at first with the incline maxed out, that might have been a bit of a mistake, then at about a 5% grade. I did not record my time but it was probably in between 8 and 9 minutes.
Then I did 10 push ups and 25 sit ups.
I ran another mile with about a 5% grade; the total distance that I covered was 2.154 miles in 18:58 minutes.
I did another set of 10 push ups and 25 sit ups.
For a cool down I jogged 3/4 of a mile in about 8 minutes.
This workout was a pretty good one, nothing like being outdoors but it is still better than nothing right?
