I have not written any entries under this goal as I find it quite difficult to always know my heartrate.
I workout in the gym generally six times per week plus I do boxercise one night a week which definitely gets my heartrate up. If anything I am trying to replace two of these sessons with something a little gentler like yoga or pilates.
My target heart rate is 115 to 160 according to the gym equipment – problem is I mostly run on the treadmills and the heartrate monitors don’t work when I run! Grrr! Mostly I am within my target when on other equipment.
The other problem (although I am told it is a good thing) is that I have naturally quite a slow heartrate. I was once asked by a nurse if I was a marathon runner (before I exercised at all) due to my slow pulse! Therefore it takes a little more to keep my heartrate up – sometimes when I am cycling and am sweating and really going for it and my heartrate only reads 85 – more grrrrr!
Anyway, I have decided to make this goal as complete as I have worked out four times or more each week since the start of July! I’m going to focus more on balancing my exercise whilst continuing to work towards my 10k!
Keep up the good work eveyone!!!
