Good morning Ed Here's some feedback about 5x2k on Day 3 last Thursday.
7mins 52secs Av HR 147 Max HR 157
7mins 58secs Av HR 152 Max HR 161
7mins 59secs Av HR 157 Max HR 165
8mins 01secs Av HR 159 Max HR 168
8mins 03secs Av HR 161 Max HR 173
Weather was warm with a medium breeze. Lap 5 was the only lap that I ran flat out near the end. Very pleased overall and the Garmin helped me to try and keep to target pace in to the wind. Not only that I now have a heart rate monitor that works. Interesting that my max HR was 173 flat out and that nearly agrees with the 220-46(my age but it is nearly 47)=174. I have never worked on that basis for max HR before.
Yesterday I did Day 5: 17.42km in 90mins and a few secs = 5mins 11secs av per km with an average HR of 128.
With the 10k race on Sunday 27th Sep' in mind should I carry on with the programme as normal?
Thanks
D
