OK, so "milestone" is a more familiar term but it's a 10 km not a 6.2137 mile target.
Today's treadmill session reached the pathetic but significant 2 km mark, the same sequence of 7 intervals of 1 min run and 1:30 walk as last week but with a slightly higher pace.
Followed up with a 400 metre swim which is getting easier and 20 minutes of ice when I got home and so far, achilles are holding up.
A Question of Pace
Yesterday, the car was in the garage about 15 min walk from home and I checked my casual road walking pace on Runkeeper which showed 5.5kph. I rechecked again when collecting the car later, also putting in a brief gentle jog, and Runkeeper output averages of 5-5.5kph (3.5mph) walk and 9-10km (6mph) jog.
My previous treadmill efforts were 4 and 7 so I thought I'd up to 5 and 8 initially. Oddly, 5kph proved a fast walk so I wonder about the App' or the Treadmill's accuracy. I settled for 4.7 walk but found 8 a nice steady easy run. I'm clearly going to struggle to cross reference between treadmill and road pace.
Next Steps
Another treadmill and swim later this week then, as long as I have no achilles problems before weekend, I hope to get a very short road run in on Sunday.
