Hi folks,
Well, I did my first MAF run today, 12km at a target of 133bpm. I must say, paddling along at 8:20/km felt kinda ridiculous . I think there were a few toddlers on route who overtook me...
Anyway, serious comments:
Kinda all over the place, but I assume with diligence the decrease in pace will smooth out.
Have a great weekend, folks!
Edit: For comparison, here's a 8km tempo run...

Anyway, serious comments:
- It's pretty hard to keep in the zone, but with some effort I feel I was quite successful
- I wasn't sure what my feet would think about it - many more smaller steps over a longer time ended up with about an equal final degree of post-run tenderness.
- I feel it mostly in my quads, but over my whole body the feeling is different, I can tell I did a lot of a different kind of work despite the slower pace.
- I ended up with an average 8:19/km, where last week's non-MAF run was 5:57/km.
Kinda all over the place, but I assume with diligence the decrease in pace will smooth out.
Have a great weekend, folks!
