Two weeks ago I did my first tempo run at 139 bpm and ran a 9:35 mile. Today, two weeks later, I did the same 139 bpm tempo run in 8:37.
Last week I thought I had a bad tempo run at 8:46 per mile because I had a little to much "party" the night before, but it didn't really effect my time that much when I compare it to this week. It's only a 9 second per mile difference.
About 15 minutes after today's run, while sitting down, my resting heart rate went down to as low as 51 bpm. I'm starting to see and feel improvement! And it's only been just over 2 weeks.
I checked out another health club today that has a 25 meter lap pool open 24 hours a day and is only 10 minutes from my house.
I'm finding that trying to fit my swims into the times that the YMCA has open for lane swimming is difficult and I often need more time than they have allotted.
I cancelled my YMCA membership today. Luckily, because I just signed up, they did not charge me anything.
