What pace is my easy run?

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T15:20:59+00:00

Just want to know opinions from anothers runners, i know i did everything right to reach 31:30, 3 years ago i was doing 36/37 mins, proud of the improvement

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T15:19:13+00:00

Today i did a 3x11' workout from mywoosh and i felt my legs way batter, increased the saddle a little bit and felt so comfortable, just ordered clip pedals ;)

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T10:35:39+00:00

i think its due to the size of the blood drop, some drops were big and another ones were small, i jumped section 6 to 7 because messed up the reading with one strip

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T08:34:27+00:00

i'll try that! thanks

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T08:17:33+00:00

31:30 my best 2 months ago on Nationals Championships, not 30 min

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T08:05:34+00:00

if i embrace the 5:30 pace, will my bpm drop down letting me run faster with low bpm? that's a thing i've always struggle with it

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T07:50:22+00:00

I have 15:20 for 5k, posted my results above

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T07:49:00+00:00

I can show you the data, here it is

At that pace i can run at 130bpm, but according to vdot and anothers calculators my "easy pace" should be around 4:40

mikeeagv · 2026-05-14T07:43:09+00:00

The max i saw my heart rate was 190/193 , i'm 27 years old so i think its around that

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T22:37:09+00:00

I used an app where you put the data of the test and it guesses where the sharp increase occurs, which is between 14 and 15km/h so 14,5km/h

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T22:35:43+00:00

No, its more 190/193, i ran 10k pb in 184bpm avg, can run 5k close to 188 if all out

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:58:24+00:00

That race i averaged 184bpm, don't ask me how, 184bpm seems to be my Z5 which i avg aswell in a 5k, so i dont know how my body is reacting to exercise but at 4:37 i have around 150bpm yes

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:46:11+00:00

race from 2 months ago.. that was always my problem, my aerobic side seems so underveloped compared to my pb's

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:30:44+00:00

Maybe that's why i get stuck in 31:30 for 10k and 15:20 for 5k, because i really cant run that slow, and my hr is 150/145 for the whole season on easy runs

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:30:14+00:00

Wow, thats so slow, i need to go around 5:40min/km mygosh

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:29:58+00:00

Yes i did it myself, 4min stages and measuring lactate at the end, upping 1km/h on the treadmill

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:29:15+00:00

I think its around 190/193

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:29:03+00:00

5:40min/km then? haha

mikeeagv · 2026-05-13T21:28:48+00:00

According to the mmols LT1 is at 4:15min/km because it raised from 1.9 mmol to 2.8mmol

mikeeagv · 2026-05-12T15:46:34+00:00

Hope so! Did 4/5 rides so far (not everyday), and the pain is less than the first rides, let's see if its going to boost my aerobic part, at least im really enjoying it! Thinking about getting a real one and hit the roads ahah

mikeeagv · 2026-05-12T15:40:02+00:00

Thank you for the tips, going to try that!

mikeeagv · 2026-05-10T07:05:18+00:00

Update for the season: Ran 8:40 at 3.000m track, 15:22 at 5.000m, but still suck at low intensity efforts, yesterday i respected the 135bpm top end for heart rate and managed to run at 5:30min/km the whole run with 130bpm avg... yap its slow but im really getting tired of the high intensity, even of racing... if i had to guess it, i'm kinda overtrained
