my average heart rate was 174 IIRC, this run from Tuesday felt like I was about to die when I hit 174, so there's clearly some work left to do
How long since you could do a sub 20 5k? Because HR is not a reliable indicator, especially as you get older. I've seen 198 BPM back in my road racing days, if I go over 170 BPM these days I feel like my heart is about to burst out of my ribcage. I'm averaging about one beat per minute less per year for cross races, based over the past 5 seasons or so.

Same. Can’t believe how much mine’s plummeted. 170bpm used to mean barely warmed-up. It’s race o’clock now.

Looking at Strava my fastest was 6 years ago, when I was 38.

Got this the other night when I got home after riding with you.
