Guess The Heart Rate!!
Yes this is an exciting game and one recommended to all those tready users out there!
6 X 5:2 planned for tonight and indeed done!
I'm getting fed up with staring at the wall so thought I would invent a game... each split I tried to guess the Max HR for the run then the min for the walk! Very sad I know! I even worked out that huge deep breaths increase my HR by 2 beats for about 2 seconds! Running with my arms still at my side feels damn stupid and does not lower my HR! Oh and adjusting my Enell whilst walking prevents HR from lowering!
After the fine set for some daft reason I wanted to get to 5K and had about 300meters to go so I jacked up the speed and went for it! Did it in about 110seconds getting to 11.5kmph for the final 20secs!! Wow didn't realise I could run that pace! At which time my HR went up to 196 (surprised it wasn't more) and I stopped! Stopped as in stood still as I thought I would also take the opportunity to watch my recovery rate. Within 30 secs it was down by 25beats and in under a minute it was in the 150's and hit 149 in about 63secs. I "think" that is fairly good but I have no idea! My MHR is 206 so you smart people out there tell me!
Tomorrow I will wake up shattered as I am still sat here rather than sleeping and I was shattered this morning having gone to bed at 11! Hubby is working a long shift so won't be home when I get home which means I will go straight out for my 70 mins longer slower run (at 3:2 so about 5m I guess maybe more we'll see!) Sadly I won't be playing guess the Heart Rate 'cos I'll be plodding outside!
Right my bed is calling me - can you hear it?? No?? Oh well I can so TTFN!!

I play games with my HR too - anything to relieve the boredom of the tready.
Never fiddled with a bra before while on there, but I expect my heart rate would go up too ;o)
