[SlowAndSteady]

I think I’m all set. I’m thinking the 3 minute, and even the 1.5 minute break between warmup and workout threw off the test results, so I’m assuming I’m correct in discarding first 5 or 10 minutes

from now on I won’t take a break between warmup and workout aside from restarting treadmill

one thing is certain, I take much longer than 3 minutes for heart rate to stabilize at a given intensity. I think that’s the crux of why I’ve been a bit confused.
