Pictured below is a chart showing my heart rate measured during (approximate) sleeping hours of midnight to 7am daily for the last seven months (October 2020 to April 2021 inclusive). There were around 96,000 heart rate measurements made by my sports watch, and only those taken between midnight and 7am were used below. Apparently my…
Below is an Excel chart of my lowest recorded heart rate (BPM) every night for the last six months. Click on the chart to view in full size. There is not a huge amount to say about it except that my lowest heart rate each night has been below 50bpm much more often since the…
I have been collecting my heart rate data from my sports watch continuously since 15th October 2020. As of today (15th April 2021), I have 183 days of data or half a year with a total of 89,662 (non-exercising) heart rate readings. I am most interested in my sleeping heart rate and heart rate when…
Today (12th April 2021), I ran my fastest 10k since a one-off race in 1997. When I started running again back in 2019, I started keeping records to track my progression, so my ‘personal bests’ refer to the period 2019 to today. Here is a chart to show the progression of my 10k personal best…
Today I interpolated the 10km pace of all of my recorded runs of longer than 10km and those of my friend and plotted them on the chart below. (Click to view in full size.) Many of the runs were of far longer than 10km, so working out the average pace does not always allow for…
Today I used Excel to compare my current training for a half marathon in early September 2021 with the training of my friend who is training for the London Marathon in late April 2022. I looked only at runs of over 5km so far (8th April) in 2021 with my data coming from my own…
I have continued to experiment with Python to draw data charts, this time setting up Python (and Pandas, Numpy, SciPy, and Matplotlib) on Google Cloud Platform (https://cloud.google.com). Today (6th April 2021) I downloaded the latest official UK Coronavirus reported case data from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases and tried out some Matplotlib formatting and labelling.I made a column chart…
Below is a chart to show the WMA age grading (measure of quality) of my runs so far during 2021 up to and including today, 5th April 2021. Red markers are used to show the runs of 10km or above, and blue markers for the shorter runs. Each marker is labelled with the distance run,…
During the month of March 2021, I ran 11 times for a total distance of 123.54km with an average run distance of 11.23 km. The longest run was 15.19 km. No walk breaks were taken all month. The chart below shows that as of today (April 1st), I have run 341.56 km during 2021, and…
