Treadmill
-5 min low intensity warm-up: 2.6-3.1 mph, 0-4% incline
-2 min. at 3.1 mph, 5% incline
-16 min; four intervals: 3.1 mph at 6, 7, 8, 9% incline
-1 min. at 3.1 mph, 10% incline
-2 min at 3.1, 5% incline
-4 min low intensity cool-down: 3.1-2.5 mph, 4-0% incline

I think next time I'll up the mph to 3.2. Even though it doesn't seem like it would make that much difference, I have a feeling I'll be really suffering! However, I checked my pulse a few times after the high points, and though my heartrate was pretty high, I don't feel like I'm working as hard as I can aerobically. Mostly, I'm struggling with lots of soreness and muscle exhaustion in my legs at the high points, rather than feeling like I am really at a cardio high point.
