Let no-one say I don’t do great titles! The rest of what I write might be rubbish but at least I start out good!
The highs and lows of a great weekend
1. After Saturday’s 12k and subsequent swim, started to empty the washing machine to spot a HRM strap. My heart sank as I’d been using my rather expensive HRM-TRI in the pool. Relief! as I discovered it was my early morning HRV-recording Polar H7. Phew! (And the Polar still works so a double bonus). Also a random mains shaving adapter had found its way into the washing too. I tumble dried my super Feetures running socks…which was probably not a good idea.
2. Managed to get a 3ish minute power PB going up some random hill in Surrey. The great thing with www.goldencheetah.org ‘s software, other than being free, is that their CP plot shows where your current ride’s power improves your CP-plot. Nice. And I reckon that ability is a great motivational tool to try to crank out some power-PBs at other power-durations. (Or I could train properly, but that’s far less fun)
