Didn’t even go all out today and yet I’ve beaten my previous attempt’s time.
There’s a medium sized uphill part in the first third of the route that I had been doing rather slowly up until now. Last weekend’s gardening work had given me sore muscles (at least after I topped it off with another jogging round the next day :p), but now that it has subsided, I can really notice a difference. Did aforementioned uphill section at full speed and my legs felt as if I was still going on even terrain. Only my breath sped up like crazy.
This route currently has a length of 8.6 km. There’s a small extension I can add at the eastern side of the track that makes it 10.1 km. I think next time I run this route, I’m going to do exactly that. The only thing left then is to go for the 1 h / 10 km pace and I should be back at my intended condition level!
Today’s time is 1:11:56, average heart rate at 164 bpm (as I said, I was on an easy run, not originally intending to beat my record :-]) and a maximum of 186 bpm. My watch says I wasted 1557 kcal.
Hey, 1:11:56 total time, 53:56 in target zone (129 - 169 bpm) and 17:56 above target zone. Does 56 have any meaning?
