Fast Run

Got up at 4:30 again and went down to the gym. I got on the treadmill, walked for 5 minutes and then set the speed to 6.6, which is a 9.09 pace, added a 1 degree incline, and then ran for 15 minutes, covering 1.6 miles. This is faster than my best 5K pace (9:19), so my plan is to try to work up to 3 miles at this pace, and then gradually increase the pace. I would rather work on endurance than speed, but with the weather and limited gym time, this seems like the best option.
