first time doing this for 5 weeks and I was taken aback by how much it hurt....maybe the last 3 days of drinking and bad sleeps had something to do with it??
Legs felt a little heavy throughout and chest felt a little tight, but we persisted and got through a good session
3.27.6 (30)
3.27.4 (29)
3.27.1 (29)
3.27.1 (30)
average 3.27.3 1.43.6/500m...an improvement of 1.5secs per interval or 0.75/500m
very happy with the improvement...particularly after the weekend of excess. Interested to note that my stroke rate was slightly higher than last time out...perhaps that's linked to the heavy legs and chest.
Fitbit appeared to give me relatively accurate HR readings after the second and third intervals 164 and then 172?
we'll see - I'll be buying a Polar strap in a few weeks so I'll be able to get and use some accurate heart rate dats
Plan from here is weights tomorrow, long hardish row Weds, rest day Thurs and then a 1k time trial Friday
3 weeks ish left til my birthday and I want to attempt a 1k, 2k and 5k before the landmark, to log as fast times as I can in the 40-49 yr old age group before I move into Official Old Man territory
4x1k, 5 mins rest.
tough session, but still making progress, which is great. I feel like I'm training well at the moment.
3.26.1 which is 1.43.0/500...
an improvement of 1.2 seconds per interval, or 0.6/500m
drag was 115.
Time Meters Pace Watts S/M HR
13:44.4 4,000m 1:43.0 320 29 165
3:26.1 1,000m 1:43.0 320 29 159
3:26.2 1,000m 1:43.1 319 29 165
3:25.9 1,000m 1:42.9 321 29 168
3:26.1 1,000m 1:43.0 320 30 169
first time doing this with the HRM on. Was probably at RPE 9-9.5 by the end of the last interval, but wasn't at redline. Not sure how much higher my heart rate will go though...guess I'll find out if/when I next do a time trial
