I just did a little digging into some numbers. The week of May 20-26 I ran 6 consecutive days, and on that 6th day recorded my first-ever sub-60 minute 10K. I lost 5.6 pounds during those six days, dropping from 225.1 to 219.5. It's therefore no shock that that week would be the one with my highest average heart rate since I bought a HRM in February. It was 153 that week.
So far this week, my average heart rate from my 3 inclined treadmill walks is 154. I'm definitely adjusting my goals to top that 153 mark and give two big, fat middle fingers to hernia surgery!
