Good morning!
Today I did my 5K paced, did it in 18:00, avg pace 3:36, avg HR 177, max HR 186. A little bit weaker than 3 weeks ago 17:52 at 3:34, avg HR 173 and max HR 183, but I guess I cannot PB my trainings every week
As for this past week, I did my easy 1h runs, so far so good, the last two maybe I slightly went a little bit off the relaxed pace, running at between 4:40 to 4:55 (145 to 150 bpm I guess). That was not intentional but I went through unknown terrain and calculated the distance wrong on both sessions and had to catch up the pace to reach home before the runs started to get longer than an hour... :duh: I'll try to keep it more controlled to run more near 5' pace which corresponds to my 140 bpm totally relaxed.
The HR strap is still failing a lot, today It has endured enough so I can have reliable data of the 5K paced but then in the cool down started to become useless again. Yesterday I emailed Garmin RMA for a replacement, they say it's ok but they may send it within the next two weeks... ough I guess I will have to go like this until then.
