Here are the results from yesterday’s MAF test:
| Time | Pace | HR | |||
| Overall | 50.2 | 10.0 | 142 | ||
| Mile 1 | Mile 2 | Mile 3 | Mile 4 | Mile 5 | |
| Pace | 10:24 | 10:05 | 09:58 | 09:49 | 09:49 |
| HR | 141 | 141 | 142 | 142 | 142 |
I ended up 9 seconds slower than my February MAF test, which I’m chalking up to my Naked Bavarian race and then getting sick the week afterwards. I’m still probably only back to 98-99%. The weather was a little better than last time, but low 30s isn’t ideal so I probably would have been a little bit faster in 50 degree temps. Whether that’s 5 seconds or 50 I don’t know.
I’m planning on doing one more MAF test before the C&O Canal 100. I’ll do it the week before like I do for all my races. I do this so I have a good benchmark of my fitness going in. At some point I’ll be able to use these to predict where I should finish, but I don’t really have enough data yet points to be able to do this.
