HR 140 for first easy ten mins @ 6’40” HR 163 for middle 30 mins @ 10km pace of 5’35”. HR in the 150’s for final 10 mins easy even though I dropped pace to 7′. Not sure why heart rate didn’t drop. Pace not as high as I’d expect for HR. Probably heat. [thanks for the feedback last week and encouragement. Defo up for plan 2. It’s just a bit untidy at the moment. Lots of travel and disrupted daily schedule.
The heat will make a big difference. So we had the HR in the right place for the tempo section, so a well executed session. You should find as the temp drops the pace will increase. Really pleased you want to stay on board. I had a conversation with another member of the team with lack of availability and I said what would happen if you weren’t on plan? And the answer was “probably stop running completely for a month, come back unfit, and have to start all over again”. So sometimes it’s not about progression but limited the loss of fitness during a tough spell. Then when things settle down you’re in a better place to attack again.
