So there it is this month so far, I’ve taken my vo2max estimate, the heart rate average and a look at the weather conditions to see how I’m coming back.

I’m obviously doing much better than back on the 5th of July  where my average heart rate was 143 and my vo2max was 23.9.  Today in slightly warmer conditions, I averaged a heart rate of 143 and my vo2max was 27.3.  Taking a look back at last year on July 24th, I ran 2.75 miles with an average HR of 150 and a vo2max of 26.5.

Things are coming back and I’m more fit now than I was this time a year ago.

I’m also thinking of trying a couple of lifts this evening, see how that feels.  Rest tomorrow, see how my run on Thursday goes.  I’m feeling so much better but it’s a bit fearful some, that nagging doubt and fear that maybe I can overexert and cause myself to revert back to how I was feeling back last month and the beginning of this month.
