Good morning Ed, hope you are well !
My stats for the week;
Tuesday: 30 min easy run HR <150bpm
1. 6:40.5 . 152bpm
2. 7:13.5 . 147bpm
3. 7:20.6 . 147bpm
4. 7:50.4 . 144bpm
5. 1:36.2 . 154bpm
Total; 4.23km
Ave HR 147
Nice enjoyable easy run
Thursday: 75min easy Bike ride <150bpm
A friend wanted me to go for a bike ride - so I replaced my planned 30min easy run. (hope that's OK)
He's a keen cyclist, its the first time we've both worn HR monitors whilst cycling. (my new Garmin monitor arrived and is all setup with my 305). We compared HR at various points and I was (much to his annoyance) typically 10 to 12 beats lower than him - ha!
Average HR was 147.
Max touched 169 briefly.
Legs felt a little tight the following day so I did a brisk walk for 45 mins.
Today Saturday: (race day) 5km parkrun, aim <25mins
I cycled to the parkrun as my warmup - about 3 miles,then a little jog and stretch before the start. I started my watch exactly when I crossed the start line. My aim, apart from sub-25mins, was to control the pace.
1. 4:50.2 . 179bpm
2. 4:56.6 . 183bpm
3. 4:58.8 . 187bpm
4. 4:58.4 . 188bpm
5. 4:49.3 . 195bpm :rip:
Average HR: 183
Time: 24:33 :wow:
- what do you think about the HR Ed?? I though my max was 185 !! Looking at the heart rate chart on Garmin,there were no spikes - just a gradual increase.
Also my resting HR this week has been lower, last 5 days 53, 54, 53,55, 57.
The actual parkrun results are not yet up on the site (I will post when they are) but even if it adds 10 seconds I'm well under 25 mins and a new personal best.
I'm pleased that I managed to control my pace better and managed to finish well - but it was hard - the last km was a killer! I think the watch helped a lot.
I'm feeling great now!!
