Retested and not quite sure what to make of the results when compared to the two previous tests.
If I plot out HR alone, it’s apparent fitness has improved. Lower HR for same efforts.
However, things get interesting when I plot out LT values over previous tests.
NOTE: It’s clear the 9th value at 6:22 pace / 9.4 mph is invalid.
Also, It’s now even more obvious the January test values were impacted by not following the exact same protocol used in December. (TLDR: I skipped earlier stages in the January test)
My takeaway is my LT1 improved from test to test however my LT2 readings are unclear to me.
LT1
December 139 BMP @ 7:53 min/mi
January 138 BMP @ 7:35 min/mi
March 139 BMP @ 7:03 min/mi
LT2
December 155 BMP @ 6:49 min/mi
January 152 BMP @ 6:49 min/mi
March 148 BMP @ 6:35 min/mi
For reference, here are the graphs for the three tests.
Any/all feedback and observations are welcomed. TIA
