Defying Gravity

I’ll run in the dark. And I’ll run in the cold. But I won’t run in the dark AND cold.

What to do to get in a mid-week 5AM run?

Did you know there’s a machine specifically for indoor running? It’s called a treadmill. And I’ve always hated it!

Well, actually, that’s not really true. It just hasn’t ever made sense for me to run on one. If I want to run, I go outside; if I need an indoor workout, I take a day off of running. But now that my schedule has changed, it opened a new door!

I actually think running on a treadmill is very different from running outside. It’s like I push off with my feet differently? I don’t lean slightly forward and focus on making my body run fast. Instead, the belt moves fast and I just quicken my leg turnover. Does that make sense? Defying gravity! I also think you must add a slight incline to get a real-run feel, so I put it on 0.5 minimum and alternate with 1.0 and sometimes 2.0/3.0.

So today I put on headphones and a good playlist of fun music (Defying Gravity and DJ Earworm!) and got to work.

Warmup: Half a mile at 6.6

Intervals: 30 minutes between 0.5 incline at 8:00 min mile pace and 1.0 at 9 min mile pace each for 2 minutes.

Finale: 1 mile at 8:30 pace

Cooldown: Walked quarter of a mile and then stretched

It was an awesome workout! My heart-rate was pumping and I was red in the face from all the speed. Fun!

I came home and made a bear of a breakfast: Kodiak Cakes!

IMG_6161 (640x427)

IMG_6188 (640x427)

I wanted a bigger portion so I used half a cup of the mix today, which I have deemed to be 1.5 times the portion on the box. I broke out the food scale for more experiments. I think I reported (and some of you emailed me) that 40 grams was 1/4 a cup for me. Well I have determined that 40 grams is 1/3 a cup if you fluff the mix first. I normally scoop flours out pretty tightly so that’s why I was getting 1/4 = 40 grams. So I think 1/3 a cup fluffed is indeed one portion size. Just FYI to those of you who asked!

IMG_6160 (640x427)

LOVE licking the batter out!! I love pancake batter 🙂

IMG_6162 (640x427)

Half a cup was too much pancake!!!! I kind of ruined it by keeping the heat too low and making it too big

IMG_6165 (640x427)

The flip wasn’t pretty. Next time I’ll either go back to 1/3 a cup or do 2 pancakes.

IMG_6169 (640x427)

I also wanted to make some of Emily‘s PB2 sauce!!

IMG_6166 (427x640)

I used my scale for this too because I wanted the proportion of PB2 to liquid to be exact. I used 12 grams of PB2 (1 portion) to just UNDER 2 tbsp of vanilla soy milk. It whipped up quite nicely!! PB2 tastes to me like Resees – kind of that artificial PB taste, but still good! I really like it as a sauce but I’ll stick to real PB for most of my eating.

IMG_6167 (640x427)

I topped the cake with mashed banana, PB2 sauce, flax and a few pecans

 IMG_6180 (640x427)

Yummy!! It was filling but I’ve had to type this post while I ate and didn’t get to enjoy it 100% 🙁

IMG_6181 (640x427)

IMG_6173 (640x427)

It looks like Tusker the Kenyan Elephant fell into my coffee!!!

IMG_6174 (640x427)

Tusker

My candle blew out! I bet Tusker did it.

IMG_6171 (640x427)

Off to an elementary school to watch a presentation on LOVING your body and then spending the afternoon at WIC. Hoping to learn a lot!

Also hoping to grab a lunch somewhere fun in-between!!!

    The treadmill can be a pain, but it can also be great for speed workouts and hill intervals! I am horrible at managing my pace on my own, so the treadmill provides the best way to work on my speed. And the areas where I run outside are all super flat, so using the treadmill is the only way I can practice running on hills!

    I agree- running on the treadmill IS different than running outside. On the treadmill, you’re using your leg muscles to reposition/balance yourself and outside you’re using your leg muscles to propel yourself forward!

    The pancake looks tasty 😀

    you def. run differently on a treadmill. your body is not actually propelling you forward, you are just keeping up with the belt and working different muscles. Not necessarily a bad thing but I definately like running outside better!

    i have similar feelings about the treadmill but have definitely used it for convenience – better than no workout at all! no idea how true it is, but i remember reading something before about the way people run on a treadmill working muscles differently and resulting in “treadmill butt”, meaning a flat butt. haha!

    I’m okay with cold unless it is super cold with snow…then I start hitting the gym and the treadmill. I’m looking forward to getting back to the trail once it thaws out though. But I like the ability to challenge myself with intervals easier on the treadmill. Best way for me to increase my speed.

But like you, the schedule has changed so I am having to do a run during the week on the dreaded treadmill. It IS good for speed training though 🙂 And you get to wear shorts while running! Yay! 😀

    I had Kodiak cakes this morning too. I love them. I have been doing more treadmill work lately and I like it. I go faster with speedwork and I think having other people on it next to me, makes me stick with it and try to go faster and harder. I always do a 1% incline to simulate outdoor running more.

    I love to do intervals on the treadmill, and I usually do HIIT. I just can’t seem to push myself as hard when I’m running outside because I don’t know my pace during my sprints. And if I go just by RPE, I tend to back off before it gets too hard (RPE 9 or 10). So I like the treadmill in that respect. But I do love running outside for the scenery!

    I’m really curious about PB2, because I just got back from Taiwan and there they have what they call “peanut powder” that they use for EVERYTHING- as a hot beverage mixed with rice milk, as a sort of pudding-y thing (I think you would love both of those!), as candy, and in a street snack that consists of… wait for it… a cake of pork blood dipped in barbecue sauce, peanut powder, and green onions (and it’s totally good!).
    I’ve tried to find it at Asian grocery stores with so far no success. I’m wondering if PB2 could be used like peanut powder… hmm.

    Your ability to find the shapes in your coffee never ceases to crack me up. And I know what you mean about running on the treadmill. I feel like it’s a completely different activity than running outside and I HATE it.

    I didn’t read all the comments so this may have already been mentioned but they say that 1% incline = running outside on the treadmill. I always run with at least a 1% incline now 😉

    I can’t help but comment every time you post about PB2. I love this stuff and, while it will never replace real PB for me, I love it in a peanut dipping sauce (mix with Tiger Sauce, water, and a few chopped peanuts), in PB cookies, and last night I tried it in homemade granola. I simply mixed it in with my honey to coat my grains and dried fruits.

    Love your blog!

    PS – did you check out the free kb workout at mbodystrength.com?

    I LOVE how you caught the wisp of smoke from your candle! It’s so beautiful! (as is the pancake, but really, your breakfasts are always amazing-looking).

    I still have yet to get a hang of the treadmill — I just constantly feel like I’m going to fly off of it. Hence…why I stick to the elliptical haha.

    Kath, I read your blog all of the time and I was actually sort of surprised to see you use PB2. I dont know a whole lot about it but is it artificial? I dont mean this in a mean way at all, I’m just trying to learn since I tend to stay away from artificial foods, etc.

    Know I don’t feel so bad. I have a 3 strikes rule. If I can find 3 reasons why I shouldn’t go out running I will wait until the next day to run and find something else to do today. The allowable reasons (excuses?) include: cold, rain/snow, dark, sore from the day before. Luckily, most of the times is is dark and raining, it is also cold 😉

    I *completely* find that the treadmill is different from running outside. My stride and even my stance are completely different. I definitely am not a fan of the tready, but it definitely has it’s place and find it handy when I want to try to work on speed (of which I have very little ;P) or intervals.

    Andrea:

    You’re not the only one…I LOVE the treadmill! What’s great for me is that it forces me to keep up my speed, otherwise I’m highly likely to slack off.

    Glad you had a good run, Kath!

    Sounds like an awesome run! I love treadmills for this reason. Interval training.

    I thought I was the only one who licked the pancake batter. Most people think it’s gross, but I LOVE it! 🙂 I think even more than cake batter.

    Hope today was great Kath!

    That sounds like a great workout! I just can’t get over how fast you run … A warm-up to me right now is definitely NOT 6.6 miles per hour. LOL! When I do running intervals, I’ll get up to 8mph for a minute here and there, but even that’s really fast. I guess I’ll keep working on it!

    Your pancake looks delicious!

    I am absolutely in love with Bob’s Red Mill products – if I have a choice, it’s always BRM! That soup looks delicious. I have a few pre-made soup packages in my pantry that I’m saving for a rainy day. How much spice do you add to your serving?

    Your house looks gorgeous! I personally love that individual bed frame in the guestroom – it’s so tiny and perfect!

    My fingers are crossed that your house sells – you guys have done an amazing job of cleaning it up!
