29 min

Did the same routine as last time. Forgot what the pullovers were and added 1kg leg weights. Made the abs and lower leg exercises a bit more challenging.

30 min = 5.08km (3.15 mi)
.4 increases (7.6-10.6)

Have reached the point in the progression where there is no lag between the build up and the final speed. Next run I'll move the max speed to 10.7 and start the increase at 2 min. each time. Looking back, I forgot to summarize September, so doing it and October:

02 Sep: 2.99 mi
06 Sep: 3.00 mi
07 Sep: 3.00 mi
09 Sep: 3.00 mi
12 Sep: 3.03 mi
14 Sep: 3.05 mi
16 Sep: 3.09 mi
19 Sep: 3.10 mi
21 Sep: 3.12 mi
23 Sep: 3.13 mi
26 Sep: 3.13 mi
30 Sep: 3.13 mi

03 Oct: 3.13 mi
13 Oct: 3.13 mi
21 Oct: 3.16 mi (mph treadmill threw off progression)
24 Oct: 3.14 mi
26 Oct: 3.14 mi
28 Oct: 3.15 mi
31 Oct: 3.15 mi

As you see, WAY more consistent in September. Of course my October excuse is a nice 2 week break when everyone was here visiting and then the beat down at work spending all day outside in the sun. Looking forward to more consistency in November. It's a slow process but I think the tiny gains will keep me from pushing too hard, too fast and injuring myself.

For metrics, I've only added 257 meters (0.16 miles) to my 30 minute run time over the span of two months. Baby steps!
