On 18 Jan 26, Giannis Aresti, Alexandros Lykouretzos and Antonia Stelikou competed in the half marathon and 5 km, which were held in parallel with the Nicosia marathon.
Antonia crossed the finish line in 20’01” in the 5 km race in a back-to-back race where she is steadily rebuilding her physical condition, confirming a dynamic comeback.
Also very well attended were Giannis, who finished the half marathon in 1h21’32” and Alexandros in 1h52’09”, setting a personal record for the distance.
Maximum heart rate is the maximum number of beats per unit of time that the heart can reach during physical activity (at the point of exhaustion).
Anaerobic threshold is the intensity of exercise, and therefore the point in heart rate and running pace, at which the production of lactic acid occurs at a greater rate than its removal, and from there on the lactic acid concentration begins to increase significantly (the concentration of lactic acid in the blood). for the majority is about 4mmol/L).
Aerobic threshold is the intensity of exercise and thus the point in heart rate and running pace, at which there is a balance between lactic acid production and its removal (the concentration of lactic acid in the blood for the majority is approximately 1.5 – 2mmol/L). After that point, lactic acid removal occurs at a lower rate than its production.
