Running

So as mentioned, this blog will also double up as my online training journal. As I've got no plans for tomorrow, I saved my 75km bike ride for then, and went for a run. Living at Forest Lake I have the beautiful lake to run around. So at 9.30am on the dot I ran the 2-3km there, 2km around it, then 2-3km back. My aim was to use my heart rate monitor alarm to stay below 175bpm which is about 75%VO2max. But coming home was 6-7mins uphill so the HR hit the low 190's. This could have been cos of the headcold I have and the codrals I'm taking, but I had no problems holding my pace with my HR that high, so that's a good sign I wasn't working at or above my anaerobic threshold, so there's probably a bit more speed in the old legs. So for the 7-8km run it took 42 mins, average HR 176, 647calories burned (30% of that bodyfat = 21g body fat).
