I haven't ran more than 4 miles in a while, so I decided to try 5 miles on the treadmill. I'm preparing for a 5 mile race coming up, so this was good practice. Although I do not particularly care for running on the treadmill (it's kind of boring), I decided to give it a go. I felt absolutely fine after the first 3 miles and kept an 8:30 pace for the last two miles. I finished 5 miles on the treadmill around 43 minutes and felt fine. Although this was not my fastest time, I was able to plan ahead and see what I need to work on in the future.
