I prefer to workout just after waking up, before I eat. I like to workout in a fasted state so I know I'm burning as much fat as possible.

In the winter I run on a treadmill. I prefer to run outside, so I will when it warms up, but one benefit of a treadmill is being able to autisticlly track, and improve, my performance over the winter.

I start by jogging at 5 mph for 2.5 miles, then 6 mph until I've gone 4.3 miles, then up to 6.5 mph till I get to 4.5 miles, then down to 5mph to cool down until I get to 4.75 miles, then I walk at 3.5 mph until I get to 5 miles.

When I go back to running outside I do the same thing, but just sort of guestimate the speeds and distances.

The amazing thing about that routine is that I was a sprinter in high school, and, while I was in very good shape then, an 800 meter run would have seemed like a long distance to me.

I rotate through 2 other running routines each Saturday, but I'll describe those in other posts on the days I actually do them.

What workout did you do today?

EDIT: I forgot to explain that the 6.5 mph speed will gradually be increased to a longer distance until eventually I'm running at 6.5 mph until 4.5 miles...then I'll start bumping that up to 7 mph.
