That's the end of the 2 week off training period, moving onto the 3 week build up period tomorrow.

For the build up period do I keep running with an average HR of 130-140 bpm as I have been?

yes stick to that bpm, during this build-up there should be a change in the pace at the same bpm

so you on track

enjoy the process, especially when you begin to look forward to the 2k session

Build Up Period Day 1 of 21

Time: 60.02
Distance: 9.54km
Pace: 6.17/k

Start of the Builld Up Period, feels like i'm in a good place to get some good sessions in over the next 3 weeks and hit the ground running (literally) when I start on the sub-40min plan.

Resting HR was a little higher this morning, but this didn't seem to translate into a HR increase in my running.

My weight has also dropped below 13 stone for the first time in over four years, so I should notice some differences when I come to do the quicker sessions.

So far, so good!

Cheers,

Boony

let's watch the morning HR so we can see whether there is a pattern and if there is maybe something other than 'intrinsic' causing the change in HR

ask questions for further clarity if needed

Ok, lets keep an eye on it. It was up again this morning, this time it did result in me having to go at a slower pace.

I'm feeling healthy, although there is a sore throat thing going around the office. Could a lack of sleep cause a higher HR?
