New year new me hellen. It was strangely liberating as whilst I knew that I could run 80mins, as I did it a year ago or so in training on a flat course, I didn't go out to do it, I just wanted to run 84 to PB.
as it turned out I did run faster but I put that down to being relaxed in my head, instead of thinking about pushing the pace for 10m, as I was slowing myself down to stop me going sub 8:00 pace I felt like I was in control and started to enjoy it. It is the first race I have run a negative split and it felt so much better as opposed to my PB at this distance which I did the first 5 in 40:00 and the last 5 in 44:30 - With walking and stop starting.
This one was 40:57 and 39:09

nice negative split lums
one thing I was wondering, I have had the prob once before and not sure if others have. I think there may be a prob with mr garmin. when I run from home the first 0.6miles is downhill. Consequently the fisrt mile is always faster pace/lower HR. Just looked at fridays recovery run and it was 9.45/mile HR 138. On sunday, even though I was jogging quite slowly and it felt easily my HR peaked at 172 (85%) which is cant possibly have been and for quite a bit of the first 5 mins it was in the 160s which it cant have been as I was going at around 10s. The first mile was 9.50/mile HR 158 which is way off what it normally is.
The same happened for one of my other LSRs so after the first mile when it seemed to have settled down I reset it. I have been doing this HRM lark for long enoguh now to beable to guess withing about 5-10beats what my HR is. I know there is no way it could have been in the 160s and certainly not 172!!! Not sure about the rest of the run. Whenever I looked it seemed to be a bit higher than I woudl have expected but not loads more.

Hellen, it could be something interfering with the HRM, Wifi, power lines, Aliens?
I have noticed my HR plummets in a couple of places on my regular route, I assumed it was power lines or such like. I will be running along t 10:00 pace and 141bpm, then suddenly its 132 for 10s and then back up to 141.

Mine often has erroneous readings in the first mile or so, until there is a decent (and sweaty) contact.

I imagine hellen poring over her Garmin readings like this! Doesn't all this analysis send you mad?

I know the answer but will ask anyway for the benefit of anyone else. Despite training hard for 15 months or so with intervals, tempos, 30k, 20m, Marathons etc, my HR has never gone above 182.
After sprinting for the line yesterday I saw 188 which has completely thrown me, so I assume I should take this reading now - it does correlate with maximum effort and I was nearly sick after crossing the line.
It just shows you though that unless you have done a proper test you cannot be sure.
It does also mean that a lot of my 70% runs were in fact 66%
