MAF test
I had a go at doing a 5 Mile MAF test. Based on the formula, my HR target is 142bpm. I did 5 x (4 x 400m) around the local track after a warm up:
Mile 1 145 07:56.0
Mile 2 144 08:17.5
Mile 3 144 08:23.4
Mile 4 145 08:20.7
Mile 5 144 08:21.7
I was planning to do 142bpm +/- 2bpm. As I was keen, I aimed high!
I don’t think that these numbers mean too much by themselves. The key is to see how I do in the future and compare it to these numbers.
