Hi TheEd
Thanks for the advice, I agree that's a good idea. Looking back at my last two 6x1km sessions my max heart rate was 177/178 and so I'll look to keep the pulse below 170 during the higher intensity sessions.
I did get out yesterday in the end and was feeling itchy to go a bit faster, but had similar thoughts about not pushing too hard at this time (and post-cold) so did a 3x1km session without going all-out. Felt pretty good during and after, even though I can tell I've lost a bit of fitness - not too much though.
1km easy WU and CD.
km / time / av HR / max HR / min HR after 60 seconds easy recovery)
1 / 4:33 / 158 / 162 / 152
2 / 4:24 / 163 / 168 / 154
3 / 4:23 / 164 / 174 / 158
Av. pace of intervals 4:26/km
P.S. Myself and the other half are now able to come back as visa sorted, great timing with the coronavirus outbreak! Hoping that we'll get back soon otherwise it will be waiting it out for a few months I think - not that there will be many races taking place in the UK over the coming months anyway I expect!
cheers
