99 degrees hot and humid. I was the first one at McNeil HS track tonight and did an experiment running easy in the heat and monitoring my heart rate. It was proof to me that the extremen heat and humidity does take a toll as my HR bounced in the mid 150's even though I was really holding back for easy warm-up miles.
During our drills it even bounced in the 150's, and for the workout Donnie had us doing circuits with pushups, lunges, crunches, and jumps mixed in with running. The HR was 167 most of the time duing the workout and that was again with me holding back a bunch. Just a hot night, but we still had about 40 of us there for the workout tonight, a fun group. |
