Really enjoyed that. Felt nice and controlled and that I could have continued with each rep (which is as it should be for an HR based one i suppose, but good anyway!)
One question – for the between rep recovery, is it best to try and get HR down as fast as possible (e.g. walk) or better to keep jogging a bit more and keep HR a bit higher? Never really sure how much I should actually ‘rest’.
I like that, looking at the Strava data HR was in Zone 5, pace Zone 6. That’s why sometimes it’s good to work to HR, had you done that session primarily to pace you would have run slower and not had the same benefit. Recovery wise, it will vary, normally if we go pure threshold recoveries will be shorter than this and you might find that going forward, in which case just standing and recovering is fine as the HR won’t drop that quickly. Great session Mark and an excellent start to the new week.
