My garmin told me my LT was 177bpm. I managed to do each rep hitting around this HR if I look at my strava data. I did feel quite niggly today probably from Sundays effort. The session flew by but I did find it a bit hard to follow probably just where I work in miles rather than km I was doing conversions in my head 😅 in hindsight I should have fiddled with my watch settings before I headed out…
Well done Jodie. These sessions are a bit experimental at the moment and rely on decent data. I think looking at your dashboard zones that LT2 prediction looks a bit spicy and the pace you were running at would suggest the same (pretty much 5k pace right?). Pace should definitely not be quicker than 10k pace, so it probably felt a lot harder than a threshold session normally would. I might be selective with when I include these as I think you’re both social runners and I’d rather get you involved with the group as often as possible to maximise enjoyment. The main reason I set this today was to give you an easier session after Sunday, but I’m not sure it worked out that way in the end 🤦♂️ All that said, well done. PS. If I set a session which is reps in kms or meters, my advice would be just measure out that distance in your warm up. Then if you stick to laps, you just know you need to go from point A to point B and never need to rely on your watch for distance. In fact if you then set up a HR alert for threshold you wouldn’t need to look at your watch at all.
