What a rainy week it has been. I went out into a downpour this morning and was soaked in a few minutes. For more than half a mile, my heart rate registered in the 170's. When it finally started recording accurately, it was in the 130's. I could have slowed down a little and continued with low heart rate training. But with the GPS anomaly and the downpour, I had no more motivation to go slowly and I made today a fast run. So much for planning ahead. But at least I kept the plan to run. 4.63 miles in 42:48 or 9:14/mile. Average heart rate 154bpm, 181 max, but I don't really believe the 181. |
