Wednesday's Intervals

I ran intervals this evening. I set up an advanced workout on the Garmin that consisted of the following:

  1. Run until heart rate goes above 130 BPM.
  2. Run eleven minutes at 6.5 MPH.
  3. Repeat the following steps 8 times:
    1. Go until heart rate goes below 120 BPM.
    2. Go until heart rate goes above 145 BPM.
The run was OK, but I am going to make the following modifications before my next interval workout.

  1. Add a step at the beginning, to get past the hike in heart rate.
  2. Modify step 2 to run twelve minutes at 6.5 MPH.
  3. Modify the 2.2 to 150 BPM rather than 145 BPM.
  4. Add a step after 2.2, to hold the current speed and heart rate for one minute.
  5. Add a final step to last 30 minutes.
Here is what the results looked like from today's run:
