<\/a><\/p>\n#30<\/p>\n
So it was time for my first pulse based intervals this year.<\/p>\n
The temperature dropped a bit which was nice, it was not too hot.<\/p>\n
The training consists of 2K warm up, 4x2K intervals with 2 min rest between. 1K cool down.<\/p>\n
During those 2 min you can choose to stand still, walk or jog and if it is not too hot I always jog.<\/p>\n
During the intervals I am going to be a couple of heart beats under my threshold pulse which is 160.<\/p>\n
Started the warm up but nothing moved on my pulse watch, what??? Realized that I had not started something on my pulse watch so I did, off I went \ud83d\ude42 So now I had maybe been running 300 m ahead. Did not start all over.<\/p>\n
When it was time for my first interval I could not see any pulse on my pulse watch just pace and I was thinking that I had chosen the wrong exercise on my pulse watch. Interesting with pulse based intervals when you have to go on a feeling. Tough Tough. Felt that I was running on max and I was above 6 min\/k but I also got under on the first interval. Breathless.<\/p>\n
Jogged for two minutes and started again, now I had to do some detours to reduce these extra 300 m otherwise I would run into problems when I was on my third interval. Seemed to have managed but could started jogging before 2K, ran about 300 m shorter, I was just too exhausted.<\/p>\n
2 min jogging again where I had to do \u201dslalom\u201d between some kids who were walking on the bike path \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It felt that it got slower and slower for each interval, definately not a good start but I was doing intervals and it will be more.<\/p>\n
The first two intervals are the toughest but when I am starting on my third I know that I just have one left.<\/p>\n
Finally I ran my last interval but it was so tough so I started jogging before I had finished these 2K\u2019s, then I thought that I would have 2K warmup when it was just 1K (which I realized at the end).<\/p>\n
THen i was thinking about why I had not seen any pulse and realized once again that it is based on which mode I am choosing on my pulse watch and an auto had chosen Running when I should have chosen intervals or hilly intervals. I will do better next time for sure. No point doing pulse based intervals if you cannot follow your pulse.<\/p>\n
