HHM Challenge - Run #1

This is the first run update for my Hypodermic Half Marathon (HHM) Challenge. The run was suppose to be a tempo run (80-85% of my Max HR) at a pace of 6:36/km. Unfortunately, since I haven't ran in 11 days, I'm not at the point where I can run for long distances without stopping. Today, instead of the tempo run, I did 3:1s and during my last 3:1 I had to walk an extra 1 minute to lower my HR.

Here is the breakdown of the run.

Average HR	145-163	164	slightly higher
Max HR	181	204	High

As you can see, I was a little off on what I was expected to do, but as I run more, I should get closer. The one item that concerned me after my run was my Max HR, as it was VERY HIGH. I will definitely need to monitor this a lot closer as I don't want a heart attack to occur, especially while I am running.

Run # 1 is now in the books, only 87 more to go.
