Intervals on the treadmill

Today was RUNNING. I knew I would be on the treadmill and I knew I had to do an interval workout. However, I don't have any interval workouts and I really like having something written out that I can follow. So I checked my blackberry for an email ironlady had sent out for a treadmill run to do when she was not around and I followed that.

Run for 30 minutes
first 8 min steady effort (i ran at 5.5- felt tired right away not sure why ??)
then 4 x (30 seconds hard, 30 seconds easy) - i put hard at 6.5 and easy was back to 5.5, i was a bit bummed that I was not going faster
then 3 minutes of steady effort with a bit of incline
next 3x (2 minutes hard, 2 minutes easy) i did the same speeds 6.5 for hard and 5.5 for easy
then run steady effort rest of time.

Anybody have some interval workouts they would like to share ???

  2. I do intervals weekly, and I changed them weekly. I do about 3 miles of intervals: 2X(6X400m), 6X800m, 2x1200+ 4X800, 5X1000m, and mile repeats.
