Another 5K

[yatesco]

Hi all: connect.garmin.com/modern/a...

Unfortunately, my heart rate chest monitor seemed to be telling big fat lies, or rather, skinny, lithe lies as the 'time in zones' is that of a seriously fit person (i.e. not me).

This is the second time the HRM has done that, I wonder if I am experiencing 'cadence lock' - google here I come I guess.

Anyway, Bradgate Park was as lovely as ever and the deer their usual elegantly skittish selves.

The best part is that I get to eat some peanut butter on toast guilt-free, because, you know, us runners need to have some post-run protein :-).

Ooh, ooh, ooh - I just got a '100 mile' badge from the excellent smash run: en-gb.smashrun.com/colin.ya...

Wow, to think my first c25k run was 9th of Feb this year - quite chuffed with that :-).

Or, maybe, all this running has made you fitter than you thought? (after all, you must be pretty fit to lug 20 stone around 5k...)

[yatesco Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

I wish, but no, a quick 'pulse count' showed the truth. But bless you for saying that :-).

You're building a solid base and that will reap huge benefits further down the road (oops I didn't mean to make a pun there 😏). Congrats on the 100 mile badge. That's a lot of miles to run.

Those heart rate numbers look very sensible to me. - encouraging signs! Interesting to see if the next run gives you similar data. Nice work ... COLIN

Cheers

So.. to clarify, for this mere mortal.. are you fitter than you think, less fit than you think, as fit as you were, or don't you know ?

Cadence lock sounds painful...is that the Garmin..or you ?: )

Your run sounds wonderful..hope the snack was too.. ( peanut butter.. yuksters! )
