Treadmill Training or whatever works

Today’s workout: Weight training, push-ups, dumbell curls, crunches, lunges and calf raises.
Typical treadmill training: 3 to 5 miles, today only 3. Started run at 6.5M, raised 1/10 of a mpr every quarter mile. Last half mile, raised 1/10 mph every 1/10th of a mile. Always at a slight incline.
This type of training has been very effective for me as I only started running last September, my first 5K run I finished at 29:30. I ran a 5K race last weekend winning my age group (40-49, I’m 41) with a time of 22:33.
Another reason this type of training works for me is my schedule is very tight. I am retired AF, full-time manager and full-time college student.
Next running event will be a 10K in Fargo on 18 Jun 09.
