morning runs are more of a strain to most people due to their body not being fully activated yet.

Slot the runs in the morning if it is easier

===================

This 5x1000 was harder than last one two weeks ago. (http://www.time-to-run.com/forums/showpo...stcount=84)
But, perfectly normal considering current conditions (week hard at work) according to what I read in another thread (you posted at BigSweed´s thread).

So, :mrburns:

MMS
please monitor your am pulse for the next 3 mornings and then provide feedback of your waking pulse, please?

Keep the feedback coming

TheEd
I´ll monitor my waking pulse the next 3 mornings, but how should I do it? I mean, for how long should I be wearing the HR monitor?

MMS
hi MMS, try this

how to take your pulse

please let me know if that is helpful

Cheers

TheEd
No doubts now! Very helpful. Smile

Hi Ed,

Another feedback:

April 9th 30min easy

Time: 30:08
Dist: 4,5k
AHR: 142

Felt really good yesterday. Lowest AHR on 30min. I don't know but the easy day at work might have contributed.

============

Today's waking pulse was 60 bpm.

Today is holiday so let's enjoy the longer weekend! :yes:

MMS
Hi Ed,

here´s the weekend´s feedback:

April 10th waking pulse

waking pulse: 60bpm

==========================

April 11th 5k paced run

K|Time|AHR
1|04:41|160
2|04:40|175
3|04:50|175
4|04:51|175
5|04:58|178
T|24:00|173

After completing the first 2k I realized that I would have to go slower, otherwise would complete below 24min. That´s why the slower speed.

Now the last 5k paced to compare:

March 28th

K|Time|AHR
1|04:48|161
2|04:42|177
3|04:53|178
4|04:55|180
5|04:47|184
T|24:06|176


=======================

April 12th 10k easy run

Dist:10k
Time:67:22
AHR: 150

Now the last 10k easy to compare:

March 29th

Dist:10k
Time:74:03
AHR:152

================================

Well, there´s no race programmed for this weekend so, I´ll start Day 1 tomorrow and probably rest today (specially if it´s a hard day at work).

Cheers

MMS
your waking pulse seems to stable and OK

your 5k paced pulse rates shows a definite improvement so it is now certainly onwards and forwards in training and the planning of your races
