My diary of going from absolute zero fitness to half ironman. The trials and tribulations of my training up to my first race in 2009 and then post race my continuing battle to remain fit. If you find you're always thinking about getting fit but never quite starting and you could be inspired by seeing that anyone can do it . Then I think you'll find that inspiration here.
Just checked my stats to compare with you
ReplyDeleteStrange thing is cycling is only 84.49k. So it looks like I found a 5k shortcut along the way. :)
Avg HR 175 Max 189 for the cycling
Avg HR 169 Max 186 (last km) for the running and distance 20.98 k (another shortcut I guess)
I need to work on getting my HR to a better level like yours for next time.
Total cal consumption for both legs 5482
Mr Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteYour average was as high as my highest reading. Your max HR should be around 180(220-age + or - 10%) so you're effectively running at 100% of max heart rate for 5 hours. This for someone of 39 is pretty unusual.
If you're resting heart rate is 48 and your max is 230(as your stats would step up to this) then you're very different from the average man on the street. I suspect one of three things.
1. You've sadly missed your calling as an Olympic athlete or Tour Cyclist.
2. Equipment calibration problem.
3. Belgian Potion
Second is most certainly the right one.
ReplyDeleteMy max HR tested by a cardiologist 4 years ago was 199 with power output of 355 watts on the treadmill. I was diagnosed with athletic heart condition which seems to be genetic as my dad suffered from the same condition when he took his life insurance test and was denied it before further testing. 48 rest HR is normal with that condition but 170 avg seems to indicate a problem with the equipment which is hardly a surprise considering the distance distortion I encountered.
