Hi TheEd,
The session felt gerat. Definitely easier than the 1000m or 1600m ones. You were bang on with your prediction, there was a bit of a change after the 4th interval and also the 8th, 9th and 10th felt a bit harder.
Here are the stats:
Intervals 1-3
HR was 142 after the interval. Falling fast within 30s. Breathing very easy, 5-6 strides per inhalation and 5-6 per exhalation. Pace felt ok.
Intervals 4-7
HR in the low 160s after the interval. Again falling fast within 30s and down to around 120 after the 60s rest. Breathing a little steadier, around 4-5 strides per inhalation & exhalation. Pace still felt easy.
Intervals 8-10
Legs started to feel the load in the last three intervals. The pace was still ok, but a bit more effort was required to maintain it. HR up to 170 after the interval, and only back down around 140 by the time the next one started. Breathing now 3-4 strides per inhalation & exhalation.
Interestingly, the max HR seemed to occur 10-20s after the end of the interval.
After the 10th interval the HR fell to 110 after 60s.
I warmed up for longer and it was much better.
Same old stuff for Thursday?
Cheers,
Gavin
