Increased heart rate numbers are not necessarily a good thing - they can indicate overtraining/tiredness. What is usually looked for when doing heart rate training - is lower HR numbers for the same workload. I'm not sure what conclusion I would come up with from your graph.
It's admittedly a small data set and yeah, of course I'm looking for a decrease in the heart rate :-).
Today's data is clearly an unwanted increase. Given the consistency of the previous week or so, I was just a little surprised to see how different it was. Don't get me wrong Barry, I know if have to collect much more days to observe the real trend, but I can't help wonder if a 4 day rest has affected today's session.
Who knows??? That last day might have been your monthly "lead boot" day??? Different treadmill?? etc,etc. We shouldn't get too hung up on the results of one run - either positively or negatively. Looks like you are trying hard though - so the only way up for you is forwards and upwards !!
Is the treadmill your own?? I am thinking of buying one - they do have their uses!
Same treadmill, in our works on-,site gym. There are four treadmills and at 8am I have the run of the place so treadmill #1 is the one for me. Gotta keep variables to a minimum!
