Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

AM - Went to gym and did 30 minutes on elliptical. Stretched afterward. Weight 130.

PM - Warmer today. Modified Landfill loop from work, with 4x3-minute CV fartlek in middle. I have a new toy to wear, the Timex Bodylink. It is a GPS and HR monitor. I figured out how to use it during the first few minutes of my warmup, and then ran the fartlek. CV pace is supposed to be in between V02Max and LT, a little slower than 10-k pace. My 3:00 intervals were:

5:16/mile pace (HR 164)

5:18/mile pace (HR 171)

5:11/mile pace (HR 173)

5:17/mile pace (HR 175

Average pace for entire run 7:10/mile (skewed due to walking and figuring out toy). Ave HR for run 146. Max for run 181. Fun stuff.

Since you're a GPS guy, I gotta know why you went with the Timex Bodylink instead of the Garmin?

From Paul Petersen on Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 17:39:36

No reason other than it's free. I'm doing a product review on it.

From Sasha Pachev on Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 17:56:38

Was that average HR or max/final?

From Paul Petersen on Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 18:04:49

The HR listed in parenthesis for each 3-min interval is average.

From Sasha Pachev on Fri, Jan 19, 2007 at 18:17:13

I suppose the max was around 181 on all of them. Which means it probably climbed to 170 fairly fast.
