I'm not a "treadmill guy". In fact before today I've only been on a treadmill twice in my life - once for a gait analysis while buying running shoes and later for a stress test to check my heart. So today was a chance for me to get acclimated. I'm not quite there yet but closer. I obviously wasn't hitting my targeted times for the workout but at 7.5 miles per hour I was pounding the belt a lot harder than anyone around me. I can't imagine what it would be like at my targeted 5:56/mi. (or ~10 mph) pace. I also don't have enough confidence to just hop on the belt at 10 mph without turning into George Jetson.
