I started running again at the beginning of July. I’m trying to run 5-8k every day depending on time constraints etc. It’s going well, and I’ve persuaded myself to run every day in August.
I’m tracking progress with a Garmin 935 and HR-Run strap and Garmin Connect.
I’ve seen improvements in VO2 Max and a reduction in my resting heart rate which I’m pleased about.
During my runs, my max and average heart rates have reduced. I’m now struggling to increase my max and average hr during the runs – I find it hard to increase pace although sprint intervals help.
I’m guessing that my heart and lungs are now relatively fitter than my legs and are no longer the limiting factors and so I need to mix up my training to get my heart rate up again.
I’m considering adding spin and circuit classes and maybe some ergo work into the mix, but is there anything obvious I’m missing?
Also are there any good blogs/resources I can read up on with the latest thinking?
