10k FARTLEK - FAILED

I took my workout indoors this morning, since the roads were still quite icy. Usually in the winter when I have to do a treadmill workout, I like to do the 10k fartlek, since it keeps your mind occupied and helps avoid boredom. I last did this workout two years ago. Then I ran it in 31:30 at a 1% incline. Today I tried to match paces but at 1.5% incline, which theoretically is 4 seconds/mile faster effort. Well the pace was too ambitious and I ended up taking two rests instead of running the whole thing continuous.

Splits: 1.25 mile at 4:48/mile

1 mile at 5:42 pace

1 mile at 4:47 pace

3-min rest

3/4 mile at 5:40 pace

3/4 mile at 4:40 pace

3 min rest

1/2 mile at 5:32 pace

1/2 mile at 4:36 pace

0.21 at 5:24 pace

1/4 mile at 4:31 pace

For 31:36 total, but total means nothing since I took two rest breaks. It is what it is...on to the next one.
