Short run today 3.75 miles WHR 60% this included walk back recoveries when i did my strides at the end of the run
Split time Avg. HR
10:15 126 (57%)
9:57 136 (64%)
9:48 139 (65%)
9:16 119 (52%)
Did a 5km yesterday in the rain and wind, real horrible @82%WHR
Tomorrow i have a half, flat course thinking i should run it to HR i did Brentwood at 158HR (78% WHR) which felt ok maybe 160 tops any thoughts

Well done everyone - I am astounded at the number of people who can run at 60% for these quick paces. How does that translate to your PB's pammie?

I have never run a HM using HR Pammie so not sure. Are you sure you want to push it hard this close to FLM?

Not got that many pbs since doing this LHR training, as i haven't raced that much, just 2 x mile 3 x 5km and 1 x half mar
My half i did at Brentwood 158 avg (78%) 9:06 avg pace
Mile 7:43 164 avg (82%)
5km best this year 163 (81%) not a pb pb was at a much higher HR it will get there as the only time i've gone over 80% has been in races so no speedwork. Once i start that hopefully i'll get more pbs. Please

Do you think 78% is too hard then? What HR should i go for? Decisions decisions

eL Bee!
Pammie - For a half marathon you should be able to hold 82-85%!
By half pb (in training for FLM '06) was not run all out (as it wasn't the target race) and I averaged 82% WHR for it.
And that was with no speed training!
Often the thing stopping you from holding a higher HR is your head - you tell yourself that you can't - and Lo and Behold - you can't!
With a sound endurance base, you should be able to maintain this HR for the distance!
78% is IMHO, a conservative HR for a marathon, let alone a Half!

Ah, didn't reckon on London.
Don't scupper London!
Personally two weeks out I'd jog the half, but that's just me.

Thanks el Bee, Hendo and Lums , thought you'd be pleased with my nice, low heart rate!
I wouldn't be risking it for London either. I suppose it depends what you think is more important but I dont think you'll be fully recovered for the FLM if you go all out for a hm two weeks beforehand.
Im with Hendo on this one.
Anyway good luck tomorrow Pammie!
