8km - Monaco out and back

Today was 8km but to practice new style for each 1km. I was not feel to flash today and many times today thought to flag the walk completely. My nose is still running and my head feels like its in a vice.

I sent my hubby a text and asked if he wanted to come along too and ride his bike beside me. He brought some water with him and I was so pleased to see that he did. It was really hot again (25deg right now) I really wanted to go out and walk though as I had just got my new GPS with the heart strap and I wanted to see how it worked.

Well it was not a flash walk but it was done. It was very hot and dry and I was so pleased Shane brought the water. 50:47 for an avg of 6:20 per km so thats ok too. Avg Heart Rate was 149...I thought that was a bit high but will have a google on what is good and bad.

Still have a very runny nose and feel very tired. Might be an early night for me.

here is my data.

I would be interested to hear how the research went regarding the heart rate. I have never blogged as such so this is all new and interesting to me. I am amazed at your perserverence and determination. Makes my little 5km each day look pittiful especially when it takes me ages lol. Way to go sweets. I will keep cheering for you from over the hill xxx

Love that you are using the HRM. 150 is about what I'd have for that walk so seems good. I think HR can vary a LOT though. My brother usually has HR of 160ish on an easy run, and mine is more like 140-145 on an easy day. That old 220-age is not accurate AT ALL. The only way to know what is normal for you is to train and see what it is at various efforts. Jim likes having that data I know, so keep using it.

So weird that it's hot there. We are freezing here. Supposed to be nice (10-15C) the next few days then going to be COLD and SNOW again :(. Boo hoo.
