..love hte shorter stuff

..the thursday session alwasy suits me better than the tuesday as it is shorter

now, i know they base all HR things on averages which means some can be above average and some below. now my HR is low enough resting but can go up pretty high. my max HR is def higher than others-or no way could i train at the intensity i am training at and continue for the duration, so be warned the HR will seem high
tonight's set 400s with 200 shuffle until 3 efforts done then standing rest up to 9reps

well here are my times, ave HR for the lap,
400- 87.55s , (151bpm), 87s recovery then
400- 90.8s, (171bpm), 104s recovery then
400- 89.87s, (175bpm), 4.06min recovery-had to wait for stu to return from the toilet

at this stage stu informed us he was changing to 300s with the others, i decided to stick to 400s-WTF -who is that talking-lso meant i was the front pace
400- 87.43s , (158bpm), 86s recovery then
400- 91.12s , (180bpm), 84s recovery then
400- 89.62s , (182bpm), 87s recovery then2.07min rest

decided to change to 300s as i would be doing 400s by myself and quite apparently working hard, not getting the heart rate down between the 2nd and third set but still feeling ok
300-65.59s (equiv to 87.45 400) (165bpm) 88s recovery,
300-67.25s(equiv to 89.6s 400) (178bpm) 93 s recovery
300- 65.75s(equiv to 87.67 400) (181bpm)

so a good set, and obviously working hard but i kept the intensity for the whole time, and before hte last rep, my HR was still 166 so i was nowhere near recovered and still pulled out a 65

ive just bought a TIMEX HR monitor and lap counter(i find hte garmin too bulky for track)-got a great deal $135 which is HEAPS cheaper than i couldve bought here. there werent any lap counters with HR (strap) that were under $200 in the shops

i think itll be interstingly to take a look at HRs for a bit and see how it goes. tonights set was faster than the previous two times i did this session so all smiles.

LOL, could have been the opposite of a title I could have chosen today, 200s for me tonight, ughhhhh

No Coliban for us, we are a very small team remember, 5 is a stretch at the moment, one of our girls is O/S, one is returning from injury, that would have just left, me, Corrie, a junior and 2 empty spots :-(
