2 Mile Run = Breadsall Priory Gym
Date: 4th December 2006
Conditions: Indoors, Warm
Notes: With my hamstring still not 100% I decided to do a short run on the treadmill. I normally stay very clear of the treadmill as I find it so boring, but not to risk further injury I decided to give it a go. I warmed up on the cross trainer and then did two miles on the treadmill. Another thing about the treadmill is that it feels like you are running much faster than you actually are. I started slow and gradually picked up the pace, whilst also slightly adjusting the incline every minute or so. My hamstring felt a little tight afterwards but I followed the run with a twenty minute cycle and afterwards my leg felt ok. I am due to see a Physio again on Wednesday so fingers crossed he will have some good news for me.
Positive: My hamstring felt ok throughout the run.
Negative: My hamstring felt a little tight afterwards.
Fast Mile: 8.30
Slow Mile: 8.58
Run time: 0h17m28s

The Five Boroughs
"There's more to this place than Manhattan"
Staten Island
"Only the first half mile is spent on Staten Island as you immediately leave across the Varrazano-Narrows bridge into Brooklyn"
Brooklyn
"Almost half the race is spent in Brooklyn, where many different neighbourhoods and cultural changes are passed through"
Queens
"The race enters Queens at exactly the half way point by crossing the Pulalski Bridge, over Newton creek, where you get your first amazing view of the City. The next 3 miles are spent here until crossing the challenging Queensboro Bridge over the East river."
Manhattan
"The first of two visits into Manhattan comes at mile 16 as you leave the Queensboro Bridge. Greeted by thousands of screaming spectators makes this one of the most memorable moments of the race, before the 4 mile stretch up First Avenue towards the Bronx"
Bronx
"At mile 20 you cross the Willis Avenue Bridge into the Bronx where little over a mile is run before returning to Manhattan across the Madison Avenue Bridge, where you see the Yankee Stadium, which has to be the highlight of the short trip across the Harlem river"
Manhattan 2
"As you arrive back in Manhattan the course proceeds down Fifth Avenue for 3 miles before entering Central Park for the final push and that moment that will last forever."
