Hi silva, the weather is often not our friend, hopefully the rest of the cycle is more enjoyable, and to think, this is called spring
the higher maxHR is good, and particularly if your resting hear rate goes lower.
This would be the heart rate you take in the morning, if that drops, then it means your range is improved.
so, the gap between your low heart rate and say your easy run of 140 bpm is bigger, this means that your pace for the easy runs should increase.
the higher maxHR would also mean that your new threshold should take longer to reach when you are running at effort
the weather conditions may not have allowed you to run faster, but in fact you were putting in more effort. On another day, you would / should have been running faster
for the future, back off against a strong headwind and stormy conditions and simply 'tick over'
wind can cause a lot of problems with the legs and your overall fatigue on the days after the 'windy' session
otherwise, all good now?
