Hi Ed,
I got back on the training program Tuesday. :mrburns:
Day 1: 70min at estimated 5:00-5:15 pace - AVG HR 154
Day 2: 30min easy
Day 3: 5x2k R90 with target time 8:10-8:20
8:08 - AVG HR 172, PEAK 185
8:18 - AVG HR 169, PEAK 191
8:10 - AVG HR 168, PEAK 178
8:10 - AVG HR 169, PEAK 187
8:09 - AVG HR 166, PEAK 180
HR went down to about 110 between runs. It was down to 86 5 min after the last run.
I felt strong during the 2k runs. I started to breathe heavier during the last 2 runs, but felt good. It's such a good workout! I can see why you say it's the heart of the program.
Saturday I have the long run and I want to make it slightly longer in anticipation of my marathon. BTW I never did the full 2 hour run last week because I was stopped by some heavy rain after about 75min. I only did the easy 2h with a few breaks the Sunday before. I want to run about 1h45 at a 5:15-5:30 pace. Sounds reasonable? Of course I will stop sooner if I need to, but the weather should be nice Saturday so I should be ok.
