Subject: 11.29.2019 Black Friday I got out at 7:00 AM this morning for a 30 minute running time trial. It had been 2 years since I had done one of those and I wanted to see if the threshold had moved at all. Well....two years ago I covered 4.87 miles in 30 minutes and had an average heart rate for the last 20 minutes of 162 BPM. Todays test.....4.89 miles in 30 minutes and 162 BPM. So...I feel a little silly doing retesting. Every 5K I have done in the past 2 years I have finished the race at 171-172 BPM with the exception of en evening race on July 3rd that was really hot where I went up to 174 BPM. Still I wanted to see if I had moved 2-3 BPM and I wanted to see if I was faster or slower. I guess I will just stick with what I have been doing the past two years. |
