I don't know the science, but..... I work shifts and if I run during my break at say 2am my heart rate is consistently, significantly lower than my usual rate

Glenn, are you park running at Milton in the morning? I may actually get my lazy arse out of bed and have a timed jog :)

1, 8:59, 124 (136), 1141
2, 8:56, 132 (136), 1179
3, 8:51, 133 (139), 1178
4, 7:55, 147 (157), 1164
5, 7:48, 153 (158), 1195
6, 6:48, 165 (168), 1124

Interesting, probably only to me, is that for me to increase pace by one mile per minute 8:51-7:48 took an extra 20 bpm, but 7:48-6:48 was only another 12 bpm.

Is that typical distribution when getting near max the curve flattens?

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
