The original plan was to run my 20K city trail run after work but then I decided that I would try to rest my legs a bit more before the longer trail run this weekend.<\/p>\n
So I decided that I would do pulse based intervals, I have done these intervals in a while but felt it was time again. Both pros and cons doing these intervals so close after a trail run when I have tired legs afterwards.<\/p>\n
I got out but had to return back in again and get my eyeglass to be able to see what I needed to choose on my pulse watch. Off I went.<\/p>\n
The pros with doing pulse based intervals so close after a longer trail run is that it is easier to stay below the threshold pulse which in my case is 160.<\/p>\n
Started with 2K warm up when I run slower, try to stay not over 132 in pulse but at the end I start to get to 135-136.<\/p>\n
The first interval was toughest, got to around 147-148 and stayed there most of the intervals, very close to the end I got to 157. I try to be at 157, it is easier if I would start to get to 158 to run slower and get down to 157 again, if I am at 158, it is so much easier to get to 159 and then above 160. What you need to work on is to not get over your threshold pulse.<\/p>\n
Decided to walk during the 2 min rest and then it was time for the second interval when it did not take very long til I got to around 150 and then around 157. On the second interval I am running up on a bike path where I have a tendency to start to run faster and get above 160 but now I know that \u00a0and slow down when I run up and tonite I got to 158 but not higher.<\/p>\n
TIme for 2 min walk during the rest part.<\/p>\n
On my third interval I felt my tired legs, stayed at around 155-157 but all of a sudden I got to 161, tried to slow down but got to 163 but finally I could slow down and get back on track.<\/p>\n
Last time I did pulse based intervals my heart raced to 180 in pulse which was very scary, took a very long time to get down to normal pulse then.<\/p>\n
Walked during the 2 min rest and started my fourth interval. I do not know why this is happening now. My heart raced this time to, got over 160 and slowed down but the pulse just got higher and higher, I just had to stop and walk til the pulse dropped and then I could start running a bit faster again. This is the second time this has happened.<\/p>\n
Then it was time for cool down when I walked first and then I ran slowly til I got back home.<\/p>\n
Felt good except on the fourth interval.<\/p>\n
