Hi TheEd
I felt the 5*2K session easier this time than when I did it on the first training cycle. My breath was not as heavy and I felt I had energy to run more 2K cycles. So I am happy about the progress. Now I finished the 2K all the way on the track but did not follow my Garmin like I did last time. My target pace was 4:10, the same as last time.
Time; Garmin Dist; Avg Garmin Pace; Avg HR; Max/Rest min HR
8:27; 2,05; 4:07; 164; 173/115
8:23; 2,01; 4:10; 168; 176/121
8:21; 2,04; 4:05; 170; 178/115
8:24; 2,05; 4:06; 160; 179/128
8:23; 2,04; 4:07; 165; 183
I had some problems with the HR strap on the 4th and 5th laps so these HR figures are not reliable. Howewer I notice a big drop in Rest min HR from the 2K session in the first cycle.
These are the figures from the 1:30 hour long run:
Dist; Time; Average Pace; Av HR, Max HR
16K; 1:26:51; 5:26; 144; 158
Is this an optimal pace and HR for the easy runs? I assume my max HR is around 200. It went up to 196 in the 5K race the other day.
I will be on vacation in France for the next 10 days but will try to maintain the sessions over there. Might be difficult to find a track for the 1K and 400 meters session but should I not run these sessions anyway?
Thanks,
Arnie
