break 38

[RunSam]

Hi Ed,

Ran 10.2km race yesterday ( Alingsås Running Lights) nice flat course consisting of 2 laps around a town centre with only 400 runners.

Completed it in 42.17
Race max hr 179
Av hr 170

Absolute max is 193
Rest pulse is 36

I faded badly, my breathing was fine but I was completly powerless over the second half. Just could not hold the pace.
I have actually done very few longer runs during the past year due to my foot and knee problems. The few I have done have been really leasurely. Does this explain my lack of power and stamina?

The time is not disastrous I know, but I had so much more speed there somewhere.


Thanks
RunSam
