IS THE SPIRA REALLY GOING TO MAKE YOU FASTER, AND ABSORB MORE SHOCK THAN ANY OTHER SHOE IN THE HISTORY OF RUNNING! I will be doing a full road test report next week, using a Garmin and heart rate monitor I WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUTH! WATCH THIS SPACE! TRAINING FOR THE WEEK
Mon 2nd
Ran to college and as part of our assignment did a cardio session on the treadmill, was asked to warm up for 5 mins then run at 80% of max heart rate for 15 mins, while fellow student Tony monitored my heart rate and perceived exertion rate on the Borg scale, After a few minutes i was holding 10.5 mph on the treadmill with a H.R. of 138 bpm, after a couple more minutes my heart rate dropped to 135 bpm as my body adjusted to the effort!
Every one seemed impressed by my fitness including my instructor , by comparison a young 18 year old lad less than half my age who practices martial arts and does regular weight training could only maintain 6 mph!
Ran to college and back plus treadmill session.
5 min warm up , 15 mins at 80% max h.r. [ 10.5 mph] 5 mins warm down, total = 45 mins
Tue3rd
WILD AND WINDY NIGHT
Ran 7 miles steady then joined in the club fartleck session, felt a bit tired running down but found I was flying once the session got under way! Ran back with Paul and Rob then looped back into the wind, the last 1 1/2 miles I had the strong wind on my back and wow! even after more than 2 hours running I was motoring along at 10-11 mph, 'TAILWIND HEAVEN'!
19 miles , 2 hours 26 mins
