I'm getting fitter!
No really. Above is a screen shot from my garmin comparing the same interveral run, on the same course. It shows my heart rate during the run. What do you think?
The workout consisted of 8 interverals of 5 minutes at 10K pace then 30 second pick ups, then back to 10K pace. A total of 44 minutes for the whole workout and both workouts were on the exact same route.
The blue line in the chart is from September 12th. I covered 4.19 miles in 44 minutes. My average heart rate was 154 my max was 168. Total ascent 880 feet.
The pink line in the chart is from tonight October 3rd. I covered 4.22 miles in 44 minutes. My average heart rate was 145, my max was 161. Total ascent 880 feet.
I'm feeling really good about my running these days. I ran a 10 miler loop on Monday at an average pace of 11:04 per mile, a whopping total ascent of 2335 ft AND my heart rate averaged 146. I'm excited about Saturday. I'm running Grete's Gallop Half Marathon in Central Park. I've run that twice, with a best time of 2:34:32. My best 1/2 mary was the Manhattan 1/2 in 2004 at a time of 2:30:34. I'm hoping to PR this saturday with a 2:28 or better. I think I have a shot! Tune in on Sunday for the results.
738 days to go!
