Had I realized I was at .22 miles I would have gone down the street to even it up. :-) Contemplated
taking today off, achilles is still a little sore. So thought I would
take it easy and set out for a 3 mile loop. Thought if I felt good I
would go 4. Then I was feeling good and 4 turned into 5. Silly. And
I probably should leave my watch at home sometimes. What was supposed
to be slow turned out to be "if I just go a little faster I........"
Slow then turned into some miles faster than marathon pace. A
thought I have been having is trying to figure out what heart rate
means to me. Besides if I'm alive or dead. So, here are my splits
today with max and average HR
| Lap | Dist | Pace | Ave HR
| Max HR
| | 1 | 1 | 8:03 | 144 | 162
| | 2 | 1 | 7:16 | 160 | 165 | | 3 | 1 | 7:21 | 159 | 164 | | 4 | 1 | 7:22 | 160 | 164 | | 5 | 1 | 7:12 | 159 | 166 | | 6 | .22 | 7:34 | 164 | 168 | | Summary | 5.22 | 7:27
| 156 | 168 |
I
wonder what this means. I think I make it more complicated than it
need be. I think I will try a mile (the same mile everytime I test
this so that I don't have elevation gains/losses to think about) at 170
HR. The first mile here is mostly incline, and about .25 of the second
mile is incline, then all the incline from mile 1 and .25 of 2 are lost
in .25 - .75 of mile 2. Then its a slight up grade for the rest of 2
and 3, then somewhat flat for the rest. So I may see if I can make the
last mile a 170 HR mile. If you all hear about some really old dude
that died because his heart burst out of his chest while running in
Orem, it may be me. :-) Have a great day!
