Girlie, what I find is that the day after an interval or fast session I struggle to run slow, its like my legs remember the last pace they ran at and want to do that!!!
I noticed that with a friend the other day, she had sone a sub 8/mile 5 mile race at the weekend, we went for a little 4 mile jog before running club and she kept speeding up!!
I think it is that time in the schedule as you say, when marathon fatigue sets in and runs could get worse.
Are you doing more than your last marathon in training Girlie? If you are getting tierd then it is better to reduce the intensity so somehow try to keep below 70%. If mentally that is going to be a struggle perhaps you could say to yourself that you will do the fisrt half below 70% and the second half above?

Not sure I will get out tonight hellen, it's harder to get out at present, Mrs Lums is constantly knackered after her trials and tribs and work, and I have to be very careful that I am not leaving her with the ankle biters or waking her up coming in late or getting up early. At the end of the day her sanity is more important than my PB (it hurts to say that on here !!!!!!)

Cheers guys, will take RHR over next few days.
Hellen, am doing slightly more in terms of sessions- now runnign 4 times a week, but with current injury problems, mileage is far lower than with NY. still haven't done a 20 mile run yet, hoping to do that next weekend.

No - if you make sure that you run very regularly, and build up your time on feet, then the pace for HR will increase. It'll not happen straight away, and depends on your current fitness, but there will be a point at which you WILL start running faster for the same HR!

I'm not back at previous pace, but I am now runnign fater for 70% WHR than when I first started HRM training, which suggests I was obviously working too hard in the past IYSWIM.

Another thing to note is that as you get used to sub 70 you will get used to the feel of it and be closer than 66% at a constant pace rather than hunting for the right pace and ending up walking as often.
