i forgot to incline. I did some speed work today. Got it from my half marathon training guide. 

4x400 speedwork with a 2 min jog in between.

20 min warmup at a 8:34. Did this for a little over two miles. 

1/4 mile at 7:03 then a 2 min pace at 7:47ish.

Repeated that a total of 4 times but last time ran 1/2 mile and at 6:58.  Then I ran a 7:50ish pacedor about 15 min.
