Today was a treadmill running benchmark. The data will be used to determine how my training is progressing.
The test is supposed to be a track test consisting of running a 4k time trial (10 laps on the track) at a moderately hard pace, such that you finish feeling as though you could have run several more laps. In adapting it to a treadmill, the goal is to have a ballpark figure as to how long the 4k track workout would take you, and then run for that amount of time (no longer than 20 minutes). Not being a great runner, I guessed 4k would take me about 18 minutes at a moderately difficult pace. Here are the results:
| Split | Time | Speed | RPE | AVG HR |
| ~1k | 4:30 | 8.5-8.7 | 7 | 146 |
| ~2k | 9:00 | 8.5-8.7 | 7 | 165 |
| ~3k | 13:30 | 8.5-8.7 | 7.5 | 167 |
| ~4k | 18:00 | 8.5-8.7 | 7.5 | 169 |
| Total | 18:00 | 8.6 (avg) | - | 162 |
I have no idea what this means yet, as this was my first benchmark test. Tune in for later benchmarks to compare.
