Christmas Virtual Run- 10km Easy Run

 

This easy run is one of the most enjoyable run this year. Probably due to good company. Probably due to good mood. More probably due to the fact that I complete the run with only 2% in Zone 5. Pace is mostly 6 min 36seconds and final results is 66mins 30seconds. Still plenty left in the tank when the race is done.

VO2 Max

What is VO2 Max? Well, according to definition, it is an indication of cardiovascular fitness, and is the maximum volume of oxygen (in ml) you can consume per minute per kg of body weight at maximum performance bla bla bla.

So what is my VO2 Max after months of running? Well, the latest figure is 47 (which is "Excellent", just a notch up from range of 45-46 (which is "Good") from a month ago. Hangon, it says my fitness age is 20. Yippee!

Standard Chartered Virtual Run 2020

I achieved my Personal Best Results for 10km race at 1hour 1min and 30 seconds (ie Pace of 6.07/km). The result is 1min30second behind my target but I did race 29min 35 seconds in the first 5km.

 

The pace is dropping each km (from 1st to 8th) before final push in the last 2km.

Heart beat maximum of 181?! Haven't reach that for quite some time.
