Run in and around the Garscube Sports complex this popular end of season 5 mile road race is now a 2 lapper to avoid busy road crossings. Still got a few hills to test you out.
Another HR Race, target not to let HR go below 160, set lower limit at 159 so a beep meant speed up, upper limit 170. Again resisted the urge to go faster and also monitored the HR around the course to get a feel for the effect changes in effort/pace and hills have on HR.
Kept first 1/2 mile or so under 160 then pushed on and HR settled around 162-165. Only other time it dropped below was for a few seconds at the bottom of 2 of the hills on each lap. Also kept max HR under 170, topped out at 172 at the top of the last hill on lap 1.
Finished in 36:08, round about the target of sub 36 mins an ok run.
