Cardio 30:00 [5] 2.17 mi (13:50 / mi)
ahr:155 max:166
Runny type test number 2
The hotel gym had weights and medicine balls, but no bench and very little floor space with the giant cardio gear stuffed in there. So I gave myself half and hour on an elliptical.
It was set for miles, so I started out with a target pace of 4.5, which seemed fairly natural for not being in a hurry. It took a while for it to pick up my heart rate and when it did it was showing 105-110. It didn't feel like that to me. My heart monitor was showing mid 150s. I tried to ignore that and pay attention to the pace which kept creeping up to 5.
At about the time I was considering if I should check with my doctor about the very different heart rate readings the machine caught up to my Garmin. That took 14 minutes. At 15, I decided to try to settle the pace down to 4. This felt really slow, a fast walk really, but also was easily sustainable.
So one more data point in my time versus distance walking/running/hiking experiment.
