Heart rate control training - disappointment (Read 205 times)

I also think this looks like accumulated fatigue. It's almost like every week you are racing yourself to try to get a new PB/PR. Try running some different distances and add some interval training.

Your watch is giving you a new VO2 Max score each time you run based on the result of just that run. Ignore it. Only accept the VO2 Max on your fitness test runs, maybe performed once a month.

My simple advice would be to

1) Do some LONGER lower intensity runs

2) Do 1 x Fartlek session per week - run flat out for 4 or 5 mins then recover until you feel ready to go again. Don't do the intervals based on time or distance, just feeling. Do NOT do this more than once a week.

3) Ignore your VO2 watch score unless you're doing a RACE or flat out fitness test run

Enjoy and keep up the good work
