HR Test
Off to the olympics today - Canoe slalom with the boys at Lea Valley White Water Center. It's in Waltham Abbey - close to my office and near where I grew up. Absolutely amazing venue and the walk from the venue to Chesunt station was superb with displays and lots happening.
I always loved team events as a kid - not as in football vs tennis but events like the London Youth games and English schools champs. People from all over the world cheering their athlets on and in lots of cases the supporters will be friends and family of the people involved.
Team GB were the nuts, mens C2 doubles both brits made the final with the 2nd pair with Florence 'the machine' needing to go better in their second run to qualify and the womens K1 girl ran 2nd fastest going into the semi.
We were watching at the middle of the course on the most technical section where people were getting most time penalties and it was great viewing.
The food & toliet facilities were also the nuts, really enjoyed the day and we had a full 4 hours there.
Back home and very tired. Got out for a run at 6.30 and planned HR test. 2nd day of running and with 10.6 in the bag yesterday was going to be tired.
Scores on the doors were -
1.00 mile 7.24/mm @ 133 bpm
1.00 mile 7.07/mm @ 148 bpm
1.00 mile 6.50/mm @ 155 bpm
1.00 mile 6.33/mm @ 161 bpm
1.00 mile 7.15/mm @ 149 bpm
Avge of 148 bpm for 1068 beats per mile - lowest for some time and a real break through. Running coming together as good figures for the middle 3 miles would be 6.35, 6.15, 5.55 or (32, 35, 38 secs improvement). Last week I did the same (ish) run and came out way over that so will use this as a benchmark. If we can hit 10 secs/week improvement we are heading in the right direction.
So all good on the running, happy with that for now.
