Very close to mine HR and pace when I start training last Oct

Can be better, my right leg is not so good

Is it because of the weather?

hasn't run much since first week of June after an ankle sprain and a recent long periods of rain. General fitness level has dropped drastically. And perhaps the rising temperature here could also be another reason.

Warm evening jog.
Don't know is due to warm or just mentally tired no stamina to jog.

4.6km 6min30s pace. Stop and walk many times

Evening. My dream of 10k under 60 mins finally come true! After months of training in 8:30/km - 10:00/km just to wait for a moment like this. Thanks to the afternoon rain and Qiaodan plaid. Thank to all members of this thread.

But HR not improved one bit. Only thing I noticed is HR drift less now. Last time 5k already reach 165 bpm. So happy tonight sia. Think will take 2 weeks off running celebrate and eat until bui bui.

It's warm. My running pod measured 30C average even for the night.

You are gunning for a target time. So you are pushing above steady state HR, that is why it is climbing. Normal when doing a trial to test if you have improve. Indeed you have. Very well paced run.

5:56min /km is close to your Threshold Pace. If your Garmin allows intensity zoning by Pace you can use 5:56min/km as the LT pace. You will get more accurate zone 4 and zone 5 pacing, whihc is useful for interval, and 5 km pace and fairly accurate zone 2 steady state pace.

29C at my place. Suppose to be warm but the concrete didn't radiate as much heat.

I see I see gamxia. Unfortunately my Venu SQ2 quite budget one only can use percent of Max HR. Am considering switching Coros try out and see how.

10.1km @ 7'00"av HR 160av 168max
another torturous run, felt really strenuous and have expanded all my stamina to complete the 10km, similar to my HM and 24km runs
