Training session 3: 40-min green zone
The session planned for today was exactly the same as the first one in training plan: 50 minute run, started with 5 minute blue warm up, followed by 40-min green work phase and lastly 5 minute blue cool down. In the firast half of green zone I kept my HR within limits (which I have set up us heart rate 140-154 bpm). But the first half was with tail wind. When I turned back and got headwind, I got bored of constant beep-beep-beep from my watch followed by slow down in running speed. So I deactivated the HR zone alarm and kept running with comfortable speed. HR rose to 160 bpm level. It didn't feel hard at all... I wonder if I should rise my green zone HR upper limit?

Weather was a bit cold for running (but warmer than during previous run) : temperature -1°C, small-to-medium wind (5-6 m/s: this time the head wind was in second half of run).
Clothing: 1 x T-shirt, 2 x long sleeve shirt, track suite, wind stopper, ski hat, gloves.A little chill at start, and a little hot in the middle of run. Chilled down again during second half when there was the headwind
Happy running,
Gert
