Oh Day 18
Yesterday's stats.
D - 37:12, Z - 32:46, AHR - 133, MHR - 153, Cals - 293
If it is true that 'it's the recovery that proves the fitness, not the speed' then I am certainly getting fit. I swim three lenghts of the diving pool at a time, 5 sets plus one extra lap at the end. I stop and take a drink between sets. I used to have about a minute off between sets, and now my watch starts beeping about 10-15 seconds into my rest. I can actually watch my heart rate plummet as soon as I stop moving.
It is happening on the bike too. I used to have it beep the 'too hard' beep while I was riding up the bridge, and that beep would keep going all the way along, down the other side and a fair chunk up the next straight. Now (I have changed the settings so it doesn't beep at me until I am really working hard - like dangerously hard) I ride up the hill and it is beeping that I am slacking off before I am even down the slope!
