HR Test

One week on, I did my standard HR test that I did last week. Stats are (last week in brackets for comparison)..

1.00 139bpm 7:44 (8:26 @ 138)
1.00 152bpm 6:50 (7:01 @ 151)
1.00 156bpm 6:58 (7:10 @ 156)
1.00 162bpm 6:30 (6:33 @ 163)
1.15 146bpm 7:46 (7:18 @ 153)

For 7.11/mm @ 150 bpm for 1078 beats per mile. Nice improvement from last week although no swim in the afternoon due to being flat out at work.

Pace felt very easy today and main concern was keeping HR down. Like last week, 3rd mile was slower than 2nd due to base fitness not being strong enough.

Best ever session for this was 2 weeks before Amsterdam..
1.00 7:07 135 bpm
1.00 6:39 150 bpm
1.00 6:22 156 bpm
1.00 5:58 163 bpm
1.00 6:48 151 bpm

And funny enough I actually feel like I can get somewhere close with a good block of training!

Busy week at work this week so going to play it by ear. Main thing is track session (my back ached tonight so not sure that I'll be able to get it done) and long run (lets see what pace is for 142 bpm this week!)
