Well, maybe not.

I'm convinced that treadmills are sentient beings and one tried to murder me today.

The new treadmills at the gym are Life Fitness 95Tis and they have a 5k training programme (amongst far too many other features). Now as I consider myself to be a novice 5k runner I've just started to use that programme, and set it to level 3, which gives a variable incline between 0 and 2.9% (ave 0.8%).

Now on a level treadmill I can run 5k in less than 27mins, and I know that I can run 5k on the level of programme in 28mins. So it shouldn't have been an issue should it? Wrong, very wrong, the gorram thing threw 2k of incline mixed at 2.4 and 2.9% at me in one go. Nearly done me in that did.

Can I haz new legs nao? k'thxbai.

Alice.
