Max Heart Rate

Oops - forgot to post this.

My max heart rate is (supposedly) 179BPM. So...

60% - 70% - Lose weight or recover - 107 - 125BPM

70% - 80% - Improve aerobic fitness & maintain health - 126 - 143BPM

80+% - Increase athletic performance - 143 - 179BPM

Back To Running

... and Cardio Trainer now works with my new Polar WearLink+ heart rate monitor! Can we have a woot!?

The main thing I miss at the moment is that it doesn't do a min/max/average of my heart rate. But I guess I can live with that for now, since they only released it yesterday.

So I started (!) with Week 5 Day 3 of the C25K program, which is a 20-minute run with a 5-minute warmup and cooldown walk. I overestimated the distance I would be away from my house though, so it actually ended up being a 36-minute one instead of 30.

So, without further ado - the stats:

Total Distance: 2.79 miles

Calories Burned: 519

Min. Speed: 2.23 mph

Max. Speed: 8.34 mph

Avg. Speed: 4.62 mph

Avg. Pace: 12:59 min/mile

I had a goal to keep my heart rate between 126 and 143 when I started, as that's my 70 - 80% of maximum heart rate, but I'm not ever very good at going slow... soooo it looks like I stayed more around 145 - 150. Cardio Trainer doesn't have a min/max/avg heart rate yet, but since they only introduced the HRM yesterday, I expect they'll add it soon. I think I remember a notification of it being around 157BPM once, but I could be mistaken.
