break 38

[RunSam]

Hello Ed,

I'm not dead, just been keeping a low profile.
I have been doing a bit of running but not on a serious scale. I have been running between 3 and 6 times per week for the last 3 months. But only for 20 mins. I have not been following any of your plans as I have been working on getting my body healthy, have also been doing a fair bit of cycling.

Today I did my first 5x2000 for more 9 months
Was a bit disappointed with the times but I have done little speed work so not very surprising.

1/ 7.57
max hr -168
av hr - 161
90 sec rest - 84


2/ 8.33
max hr -168
av hr - 158
90 sec rest - 83

3/ 8.45
max hr -170
av hr - 161
90 sec rest - 86

4/ 8.50
max hr -171
av hr - 164
90 sec rest - 85

5/ 8.55
max hr -178
av hr - 164
90 sec rest - 85

total 43.00 mins

Time was not good just had no speed in me, was annoyed because it was not particulary tough, just could not keep the speed up. Compaired to my first 5x2000 felt like sitting on the soffa.

My recovery pulse sugests I have decent fitness, what do you think?

You keeping well?
