Aerobic Test #1
Six weeks into my base period plan I did my first aerobic re-test. Here are the results compared with my initial pre-plan test...
HR 130 9:14 9:13
HR 140 8:43 8:37
HR 150 7:55 7:56
HR 160 7:19 7:21
HR 170 7:07
For the 170 interval this time I only ran half the prescribed distance. I stopped because I felt terrible and was not even able to get my HR up to 170. Only to about 165 or so. But I suppose that's an improvement on not running it at all. And I'm looking for any improvement since the test was pretty much flat compared to the initial test.
Thing is, though, I was sick for the 3 days before running the test and didn't do anything those days. Not sure why I felt the need to do he test right away. Should have waited until the following week after having gotten better and had a few rays of running back under my belt.
Let's see if we can be a little smarter six weeks from now.
