Treadmill Workout: Incline Interval

In doing some research for The Wife regarding treadmill workouts, I happened across Peanut Butter Fingers. The author put together quite a few treadmill workouts, a few of which mentioned the words "incline" and "interval".

Her post, Cheese Please, caught my eye.

I sent the info to The Wife, she did that workout, and then sent me this:


Ha!

Which meant, of course, that I wanted to do it!

After The Kids were bedded down, I headed to our "home gym", to meet my old friend:

Samuelson Home Gym: Treadmill

Her workout calls for Warm Up of 4MPH @ 6% incline and then repeats of intervals of 7MPH @ 1% for 3:00 followed by inclines of 4.5MPH @ 6% for 2:00.

I modified the WU only slightly, and then did:

Short? Yes. Intense? Yes. A hot mess at the end? You know it.
