Today’s run brings me to an official™ tracked total of 5555 km. Easy to remember!
The titular target was hitting an average heart rate of 150 BPM, which I did! This happened in a way that was kind of a fluke:
- I had no weird spikes that would skew the average higher
- I had some sections of the run where my BPM was surprisingly low, like 141 (I swear I was not lollygagging)
- I had to stop to heed nature’s call between the 5th and 6th km. This allowed my heart to recover a little, also bringing down my average heart rate
Still, I’ll take it!
Again, no issues today. I was going to wear my long t-shirt and a base layer but stepped outside, decided it felt cold, and swapped to my windbreaker. I think if I could teleport to the lake, I’d be fine with the t-shirt, but the walk there can be quite cool. I didn’t feel overdressed in the jacket, but I probably need a new one. This one is about a size too small (it’s too short, not that I’m too girthy for it).
As mentioned, despite being 8C and little wind being present, it felt somehow colder and clammier. The sky was gloomy, but the “we promise, no rain” forecast stayed true. I’d say the Friday crowd was down a bit, and most people were fairly bundled up.
Overall, though, another good run.
