So I did my 10 quickly on Tuesday which the stats showed was a real push for my body as I kept the pace up.

Thursday I set out for 5k with the intention of not getting my heart rate above z3 which I suceeded with, keeping my HR between 2 and 3 for the duration.

Yesterday I set out on my 10k route with the intention to cut it short if I felt it was too much but I completed it fairly easily and managed to keep my HR at a rate where certainly Garmin felt I wasn't overdoing things.

I think this is where all this data can really come in useful. πŸ‘πŸ˜

All sounds very impressive. Well done you! I am not sure what the heart rate numbers that you mention mean πŸ˜•

Heart rate zones... depending on your age etc it tracks how long you are in each zone (ie how hard your heart is working) zones 5 is max effort which is not good too often as it means you're really going for it. Zone 1 is no effort really at all. 2 and 3 is ideal for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise.

I'm still figuring it all out myself too! Plus different apps Strava / Garmin etc interpret the same data differently too πŸ‘πŸ˜‰

Thank you for your explanation JoJo. Strava doesn't run on my Nokia Lumina, I don't have Garmin and the Run the Map App that I have just down loaded does give splits and elevation and maps, but not heart rate info. Plenty for me for the time being 😊although I do enjoy data and the heart rate info sounds amazing. Developments in technology are astounding to me. All the best for your next runs πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
