I run pretty good mileage. 100+ a week. Now I have the odd urge to add 2 mile runs on the treadmill. Runs of like 8 minute pace. This is in addition to the already pre-existing mileage.(Not cutting runs short to run on the treadmill) You can say this is a recovery run, perhaps? Does it do anything for me cardiovascularly? I'm looking for the scientific explanation.
The Brojos will give you about 6 grand if you do it in 8;48 at the Nairobi airport.
^Lol.
So what you're saying is after the 100 miles of faster than 8 minute pace, you want to run another 2 miles at 8 minute pace on a treadmill?
I don't see the need. You're honestly obviously a troll.
And if you're not you're f*cking stupid.
I am also curious about this, but for a different reason... Does a 2 mile easy run really do anything for you? My coach isn't being much of a stickler on our mileage and tells us to go run 1-3 miles after our crossfit workouts. Most of the girls choose to go 1-2 every day. I always choose 3 (I'm recovering from hip surgery so I need to keep my mileage low for now anyway...) but is a 1-3 mile easy run really going to benefit you in any way?
A good rule of thumb is if it's under 2 miles it will not help you aerobically. Unless you're using a two mile run as a shakeout or as a warmup, then it's fine. Otherwise it's better to be sleeping in that 16 minutes then it is running.
Just running <2 miles, I mean. Adding two miles will do the opposite effects, of course.
I think it's fine to do while you're starting to run again, especially from hip surgery.
Once you can run 4 miles there's no need to run 2.

THAN it is, not THEN it is. Jeez. This is the new illiteracy disease. I know I should have other things to worry about, but I see this one EVERY SINGLE DAY on this website and I'm wondering why so many people are suddenly getting this wrong. I never used to see it. Why? Ok - I'll go and take my meds now.

Your a bitch. Like that?!
You would be much better off doing 30 minutes on the cross trainer or in the pool.

Not really. Lazy, unimaginative, predictable.

Sounds like quite a challenge.
Millrose will give you about 6 grand to do it in Madison Square Garden.
