Hey TheEd,
Managed to get out for a 4 miler at lunch, conditions were windy with sleet falling.
Aimed for easy pace, but simply not managable - avg'd 142 bpm. Set out OK, second half is up a long hill which cranked the effort up hence the high h/rate.
Felt surprisingly well when got back to gym to do some stretching. Bit sketchy this afternoon, will see how leg recover is by tomorrow.
Going to try same route in opposite direction on Thurs but be more strict on keeping the H/rate down to easy range - I feel that this is the right thing to do until I have its stabilised, would you agree?
Cheers,
D
