That is a good advice, I think I will try to stick to it. Will get somemore answers Saturday on the 5k speed test. I suppose I should aim around 20 min for that.
Today I had the 6x1k, and it was tough! Had planned to do it outdoors on a track, but quite heavy rains made me go for the treadmill again. This time I followed your advice and used 1% elevation for the whole session. Unfortunately my Garmin doesn`t find the satelites indoors, so I have no good data to post. But I managed to go through, actually I hadn`t done my home work well enough, so ended up running at a faster pace than scheduled:
km/h min/km
16.5 approx 3.39
16.5 approx 3.39
16.5 approx 3.39
16.5 approx 3.39
16.4 approx 3.41
16.5 approx 3.39
(approximate values given because I think I must add 1-2 sec pr lap due to a slightly lower starting pace the first 5 secs of each lap)
I would have done it slower if I only had done the math up front. Felt it was a bit to fast, and HR was pending between 180 and 190 (sounds to high, doesn`t it?). Hopefully this doesn`t ruin anything, though. Feel allright now, two hours after finishing the session.
Still a bit puzzled bout the treadmill pace to outdoors pace ratio. Feel I would have had a harder time hitting that speed off the treadmill. Am I right? Anyway, I might not be that far away the sub 40 goal after all, given todays session?
Best regards
