#22 – 50 runs in 100 days – No excuses edition

Instead of a long run I decided that I would do pulse based interval training instead.

Temperature: 30C (37.4F)

Threshold pulse: 160

Started with 2K warm up and even if I ran slowly the heart rate Went up over 140.

Then the first interval and it was tough. Did not go over 160. The first interval always feels very long

2 min rest when I was jogging.

Second interval was tough as well. Not over 160

2 min rest when I was jogging

Third interval was also tough but now it starts to feel better because it is only one interval left.

2 min rest when I was jogging

Finally the last interval. Got up to 162, did not pay attention to the pulse Watch. I passed a man and a child and all of a sudden I heard someone shouting at me, asked if it was my head phones that was on the ground. I do not listen to music when I am running.

Then 1K cool down.

I am not sure why it was tough today, no upwind but maybe because of lack of sleep. Started working again and getting up earling in the morning to commute.
