Got into London early as I wasnt sure what travel trouble would exist and trained at a PureGym on a reasonably good machine.
Did 4K warm up then did a 5K Target time - 20:59 (2:05.9). Felt really good on first 2K so increased the pace for second 2K then cranked it up for the next 500, and then each 100m after that increased again until I couldn't increase any more - a handful of strokes before the end but was able to keep some power on to get over the line - result 2:04 - and just under median performance for my age group on the rankings which is nice
Spending a day at the office and 2 hours driving home with lactic after affects was interesting. My HR got up to 179 and was 170+ for the last 200m. I guess that's my new max HR - which makes my UT2 between 120 (50%) and 150 (75%) - although I will try and keep a 140 cap to keep it long
1000m 4:11.2 2:05.6 HR 135
2000m 4:11.0 2:05.5 HR 147
3000m 4:09.7 2:04.8 HR 155
4000m 4:09.2 2:04.6 HR 161
5000m 3:58.9 1:59.4 HR 179 (!!!!!)
