Hi TheEd
Waking HR was a bit high yesterday at 58, however I think that was more to do with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir we had over dinner the night before than the running (day before was 10k easy)! The day after the 5k paced it was 54, and this morning 48. Normal seems to be 48-54 for me now.
Day 13
10k easy in 55:47
(5:34/km)
Av HR 143
Day 14
30 mins easy - 5.63km
(5:19/km)
Av HR 141
Generally feeling good and looking forward to stepping things up a bit next cycle. No race for this weekend, planning to do a 6-8km time trial to see how I get on. Also considering doing some weight training on easy days (not days 3-8 as I've seen advised before). I used to do a fair bit previously, focussing on body weight exercises such as press ups, pull up, dips, squats, lunges etc. I felt it used to help with my running - will take it easy at first and build up slowly of course.
