Test Run Delta

Today’s running goal was two fold: Stay under twelve minutes per mile and keep the heart rate average under theoretical max (at my age, that’s 184 bpm). This time, I went back to the track at Sunnyvale Middle School Park, which isn’t very far from where I live. I tried not to push, but instead kept a slow pace and a steady breathing rhythm (out for 3, in for 3). This was the first time I went around the track for the full two miles without stopping, even to tie my shoe. Yay, preparation!

As far as my technically “hard” heart rate zone (147 - 164 bpm), I was over that in 48 seconds. Wow. I really have a long ways to go.

I weighed in a pound heavier today than I did on Monday, for some reason. But, I’m trending down and fluctuations happen.
