I got a heart rate app for my iPhone - you just put your finger over the camera - so I will take my HR each morning before getting up. This morning it was 36.
Next Sunday is the club 10K/Half and BBQ. I will run the 10k as a race - interested to see what I can do it in.

That is a damn low heart rate Bob! You are certainly fit these days. What's with the high mileage? Are you thinking about a spring marathon? How about Nagano? I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it.
ReplyDeleteScott - No, I gave up marathons! Only 10Ks and Halfs.
ReplyDeleteAnd am real happy with the decision.
90k a week, but the longest run is 14k (and 5k of that is easy).
My knee (which has a torn meniscus) is fine - due to no long runs!
Good week. Sub 57 kilos ! Impressive!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the 10k Bob. I have that app - my am resting HR when fit is 47ish. This morning it was 55. Seems to be a good guide to day-to-day recovery for me. If it's the same as the previous day I'm good to go.
