Well today was interesting, how not to use the lap button on an Polar M400.
Here are the slightly bizarre results.
Morning resting HR 46
Date KM Time Pace HR-AVG/Peak/Rest
(warmup)Mar 16 900M 6:00 6:37 144/155/94
5x1k
Mar 16 900M 3:51 4:17 157/165/110
Mar 16 900M 3:51 4:18 161/169/123
Mar 16 900M 3:48 4:14 163/171/130
Mar 16 900M 3:52 4:18 166/172/127
Mar 16 900M 3:52 4:18 166/172/ After 3mins HR is 109
Why 900M, well I thought the auto lap was running from my manual lap up until 1km, it wasn't, so the autolap was including my 90sec rest walk, which meant the run was short of 1km by the rest walk. Bit of a mess but still pretty pleased with the result.
I would like to think that I could have hung on for the extra 100M per lap, but I assume it would affect the time come the 5th lap. I certainly could not have ran a 6th lap at anywhere near that pace.
One thing of interest was Max HR. On the 4th and 5th lap the HR graph shows a plateau of 172, the HR steadily rises up until it hits 172 then stays there until i complete the lap. This effect began around 2/3rds into the lap, my MAX HR has been way higher than this @ >185
Effort at the end was 9/10, I know that had someone ran beside me then i could have pushed harder, so it can't be 10/10.
