Hi
Completed the 5 X 1k this evening. It felt much better than last Thursday. The first 2 reps were a bit slow - it took a while to get used to the pacing. Also it has been raining here for days - so I couldn't use the grass track as it was a bog, so had to run on the roads.
Warm up - 5 mins at pace of 6:35 - ave heart rate 174bpm - 189max
followed by 5 mins at pace of 6:52 - ave heart rate 140 bpm - 175max
1k - 5:16 - 161bpm avge - 168bpm max
90 seconds rest - 129bpm avge
2k - 5:19 - 166bpm avge - 172bpm max
90 seconds rest - 132bpm avge
3k - 5:10 - 168bpm avge - 176bpm max
90 seconds rest - 140bpm avge
4k - 5:11 - 171bpm avge - 178bpm max
90 seconds rest - 146bpm avge
5k- 5:07 - 173bpm avge - 178bpm max
90 seconds rest - 145bpm avge
Cool Down - 6:00mins - 152bpm avge
Looking at the stats - the strangest thing to me is the heart rate during the warm-up. Is it normal for it to go up so high during the first 5/10 mins of running. My max rate was higher at 189 during the warm-up than any of the fast laps??
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Sal
