     Regression not  nearly as much as I was afraid It would be. Cut mileage the past 6 six weeks. Must have help. Drift of 1:14 over 5 miles. 5th mile not show(12:15) I did  1.25  mile WU. WU normally 1.25---1.5 mile

    Run until the trail runs out.

      why the regression? because of cutting miles?

       

      I think I'll put my maff progression too here because of the thread title. Smile

      I never do a a run that's declared to be maff test before starting the run because that would stress me too much. but I have some runs that I can compare because it's done on known routes (all of them flat).

       

      so, here, note, MAF=153:

       

       

      3/1/10 first MAF run

      mile 1: 14:49 @150

      mile 2: 15:37 @150

      mile 3: 15:16 @151

      mile 4: 14:55 @150.5

      mile 5: 15:17 @151

      and so on..

      total avg pace: 15:10 @151 6.5 miles

      weather: 46 F, DP low

       

      (warmup: only a 0.5 mile brisk walk, later I increased this to double the time/distance though...)

       

       

      3/5/10

      mile 1: 13:03 @149.5

      mile 2: 13:26 @151

      mile 3: 13:52 @151.5

      mile 4: 14:13 @151

      mile 5: 14:16 @151.5

      total avg pace: 13:47 @151 5 miles

      weather: 32 F

       

      (warmup: 1 mile brisk walk up to MAF-13, 13-14mins)

       

       

      3/28/10

      mile 1: 12:32 @149

      mile 2: 13:09 @148.5

      mile 3: 13:08 @149

      mile 4: 12:51 @149

      total avg pace: 12:54 @149 4 miles

      weather: 55 F, DP low

       

      (the run ended here..)

      (warmup: 1 mile brisk walk, occasionally slow run, 13mins or so, gradually increasing HR to MAF-10 and always done that way)

       

       

      4/15/10

      mile 1~ pace: 13:52 @146

      mile 2~ pace: 13:08 @151.5

      mile 3~ pace: 13:04 @152.5

      total avg pace: 13:21 @150 3.84 miles

      weather: 46 F, DP low

       

      I don't consider this one a regression, because it was fluctuating between 12:50 and 13:50 a lot in this period.

      (different route from first 2 but I used it several times and this is very well representative of other runs. a loop was around 1.28miles, I'm showing the pace for each loop above)

      (warmup: around 1 mile slow run, what is sure it was 15mins)

       

       

      5/24/10

      mile 1.5~ 1% down pace: 11:26 @152
      mile 3~ 1% up pace: 13:39 @154
      mile 4.5~ 1% down pace: 12:03 @154
      mile 6~ 1% up pace: 14:32 @153

      total avg pace: 12:41 @152 4.66 miles

      weather: 57 F, DP low (but raining)

       

      (again different but again known route. a big loop done twice and in this loop, first part is 1% "downhill" and back 1% "uphill", so only the corresponding halves can be compared to each other or the whole loops to each other.)

      (warmup: usual slow run, around 0,8mile around 11 mins)

       

       

      6/15/10

      mile 1~ pace: 11:48 @151

      mile 2-3-4~ pace: 12:03 @153 (to turnpoint)

      mile 5-6-7~ pace: 12:03 @153 (back same way)

      mile 8~ pace: 12:40 @153

      mile 9~ pace: 12:32 @153 (end of run here, back at starting point)

      total avg pace for first 4-5~ miles: 11:58 @152.5 4.26 miles

      total avg pace for entire run: 12:06 @153 for 9.08 miles.

      weather: 75 F, but not humid

       

      (the route is different again.)

      (warmup: slow gradual run of 13mins, for over a mile)

        Ron, we need to know what the conditions were like for the three MAF Tests to know if it is a regression, or possibly due to humidity and temp.  May times should be quicker then July times, unless you did these tests in a climate controlled environment.

        Consistently Slow

          Maff test temps   July 72   May 55     April 52 . A 20 degree swing in temps. The drift was probably due to the temperature swing. The 4 mile test had a drift of  40 sec. done in April. The drift for 4 miles in July was 50 sec. The test in May was a 3 miler. One day I will achieve the 45 second drift for  5 miles.

          Run until the trail runs out.

            then that's not a regression, you probably even improved some. I sure hope that's true because it means extra improvements for me too. Smile)) i.e. maybe my MAF pace isn't 12mm but 11mm in cold weather! :P and yours could be 10mm!

              I found a pace conversion calculator for running in temps above 60 degrees. Looks like you could easily subtract a good 18-20 seconds per mile for 77 degrees. The you can figure a couple more for the increased humidity. As you probably know the humidity is going to keep you from sweating and cooling your body by the evaporation that occurs allowing your core to cool.

                Burnt Toast you can also use Jack Daniel formula when you input the race distance PB & compare it with temps over 60F Its a xls file you can use the free OpenOffice Calc to use this if you dont have excel.

                    A bit of a regression, Ron. But not a completely horrible test. Can you trace back to where your regression started? It must have been showing up in your aerobic training paces.

                      Showing progress.  Slightly concerned about the amount of cardiac drift between mile splits.  Possibly due to 15.5m lr on sunday and need for add. rest?  Or being indoors on the treadmill for test.  Have been outside on the roads for the past 6+ weeks.

                        Nice progress, Lab.Cool

                        Looks like less drift than the test on 2/12, and seems normal. (a recent test of mine went 11:45, 12:17, 12:46 in 62 degrees)

                        Remember to take temperature and humidity into account.

                          drift is partially individual too..it doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. we discussed this with jimmyb before how I don't get much drift at low HR's. (even though the MAF pace is nothing close to being really great. my best MAF pace to date was 10:30)

                           

                           

                          PS: what I call MAF pace is the pace belonging to 180-age formula HR, no adjustments. (I haven't got around to testing using jimmyb protocol yet but planned of course Smile ).
