Started a 3rd cycle last week, even tough work and weather where conspiring against me...
>>>5x2km - it was rough, very wet circuit, effort level felt very high since the 3rd km.
3:51 3:54 3:56 3:52 3:58
3:48 3:51 3:48 3:59 3:52
Avg HR 144
Max HR 168
>>>Long run - had to be postponed due to terrible weather on Saturday (heavy rain and winds), and it was done Sunday morning, in less dire conditions.
Pace: 5:33/km
Avg HR 138
17km in 1h35m, 272m elevation gain
>>>6x1km - it had to be postponed 1 day as well, due to working late that night.
3:44 3:42 3:40 3:42 3:43 3:34
Avg HR 150
Max HR 168
Effort level felt high but under control, as seen in the last km, but than again, had 1 full extra day to recover...
Quick look at the HR data, it seems I can now reach (in intervals training sessions) closer to MaxHR (171bpm?) than in previous cycles, don't really know if it's a good or a bad thing.... I'm gonna guess good, as long as my speed goes up as well...
Cheers
