Recovery Run - Track

Friday was just amazing. I know, I know, this is recovery week and I am not so tired... but I was able to run really easy (it was after all, a recovery run) and maintain an 11.1 km/h pace. But what really impressed me was that my HR was only at 134 bpm (!). This is HUGE for me! My HR is known for being the highest in my group of friends.

I have a feeling that my polar/pedometer needs some adjustments, so the 11.1 km/h might not be as accurate as I would like, but since I was running at the track close to home I was able to time every lap, as I always do. So, as soon as I got home I checked the data from this run with a run I did last August (2008) and to my surprise, I was doing the same time per lap (2 min 05 sec), but that was NOT my recovery run... My HR then was 154 bpm!!!

Can you feel it? For the first time, I can!!!
