Notes
Interesting! I felt some serious soreness that I attributed to lactate buildup starting at 16kmph (accumulating it before, but wasn't gonna be a problem for this short test until 16kmph). Heart rate got to 190! That's crazy. I wonder if that's an indoor max? I'm gonna keep my statistics this way unless I'm doing a treadmill workout or until I do some 1200 repeats or something.
VO2Max was about 67.5 they tell me. That's good enough for a sub-elite, 32min 10k. Obviously that means I have other things I have to work on, like my lactate threshold and mechanics in order to get my economy up. I'm gonna keep doing hill sprints and change up my core routine to something I saw the Kenyans do - it hurts, so that's a good sign.
Post-script: I'm feeling great the next morning. I'm going to detox for a little while, get lots of sleep and finish my dissertation so I can prolong this feeling and continue to develop my training so I can run that 32min 10k. I'm putting my VDOT at 57 in the meantime (based on my pace at my vo2max, rather than my wicked 67 ml/min/kg VO2Max).
