Out of batteries? March 16, 2006
Posted by clayton in : workout , add a commentAlready? My hrm has this one sign that indicates low battery and I got it like two weeks ago. How am I supposed to change it? I have no idea but I could figure it out. I had 10km*2 runs and a swim.
First 10km: 54'03, hrmax 191bpm, hravg 170bpm. Just to let you guys no, I'm not running on a flat course with my heart pumping up to 191bpm at only a 5'30/km pace. This course is pretty damn hilly. There aren't any flats, either uphills or downhills. Because of taking yesterday off, my body was light and I pretty much attacked every uphill. I saw one American running so I tried to catch up to him and use him as a pace maker but he stopped, hehe. I guess he was done for the day. Had a nice run to the swimming pool.
The swim: My shoulders felt sooo refreshed, no tiredness!!! Well, I took a day off from "Speedy Tuesday" so it's pretty obvious why. 200m warmup, 100m dog paddle/scarling, 100m form(streamline, swim), 100m scarling-swim, 200m form(review) and then intervals. 100m*14, first 4 at 2:10cycle/form, next 3 at 2:00cycle/speed, next 4 at 2:05cycle/form, last 3 at 1:55cycle/speed. My dream of having a sub 25min 1500m swim is one step closer to reality, My slowest lap time out of the 6 speed sets was 1:41, fastest was 1:33… I wasn't panting after the 1:33, could've gone faster if I didn't breath so many times. Then a 50m cool down. Total of 2150m.
Second 10km: 55'06, hrmax 192bpm, hravg 173bpm. I was still floating, attacked a long 500m or so uphill at 8km and another really steep 50m uphill at 9km. These Wednesday runs are getting easier, or was it because of the weather…Nice and cool, no winds. I even had an extra shirt in my bag and I still ran a decent time. Total of 1:49'09, what was I doing last week?? sleep running?
Tomorrow: Short ride on the trainer, maybe focus on form this time but the problem is, I get bored. When it's speed training, I'm in pain so that awkwardly keeps me going. After that, a swim. Hey wait a minute, I might not be able to have that trainer ride because of some singing practice crap for the stupid school chorus competition thingy. It's this coming up this Friday and we started practicing today, it's pretty obvious that none of us wanna sing, hehe. It was horrible last year and wasn't supposed to be planned this year, wonder what happened.
