Now don't get me wrong, I'm still slightly sceptical about this Hr malarky but today I ran a pb for 10k at the Nick Beer race which I expected to finish around 4 minutes over. 1st 3 miles 700+ft of uphill and then a sharp descent and sneaky undulations up the finish. I usually have a good pace for 5k and then suffer and drop to over 8 m/m for the 2nd 5k. Today I felt great throughout and was able to keep on pushing especially when I realised a pb was on. Last 2 miles were 90%+ and felt tough but on the whole the run felt easier than I would have expected at 9 o'clock this morning.
Total Run 89%WHR

Finally stuck the HRM strap on for a run. Deliberately didn't look at the Garmin, just ran as I've been doing my base mileage all winter. 8.4 miles on a flat/slightly rolling course round by the Pentlands, with some off road/snow/boggy bits in 1:11, an average of 8:27.
I appear to have done this with an average HR of 145, and with all the mile splits showing an average of 150 or less.
Given my other stats Max189 Min55 that puts 7-% WHR at 150.......
So it looks like I could say I've been inadvertently training to HR. Or unintentionally doing so. Or something. Stealth HR, maybe.
Whatever. On the flat 70% seems to have me around 7:15 to 7:30 pace. Quite happy with that, then

Good running Hendo & Slowboy&NR and all.
Had a great LR today and dead chuffed about it! Stats...dist:11.2mi Avg Pace: 11.23/mm Avg HR:152bpm 71% WHR
This run goes well with Tunbridge Wells Half next week. The best part was, I was still going very strong with steady pace towards the end. Right now, not tired at all...am loving this!

looks like you are getting your milage up pretty quick again hendog! What are you going to do at Draycote?
My HR was all over the place today on my run, no idea why.
70% = 150
85% = 172
I started off at a nice steady pace at what was about sub 70%. I went up a few inclines where I slowed the pace down a bit but my HR was up to 170, what was that all about. I tend not to look at my HRM that much as I have been at this for a while so more or less know what my HR is but today was just crazy. I am feeling quite tierd so wonder if my HR is more sensitive to little inclines when I am tierd?
After 5 miles I decided to do 3 miles fast so then obviously my HR went up.

Mine was rubbish... ran through bradgate in the snow... was about 176 for a lot of it.
Managed to average 166 which is in the zone (just) but enjoyed by run non the less!

Just back from 6 miles following yesterdays 21.5 and was very surprised at HR as I was expecting it to be high due to fatigue but it was the complete opposite! Average pace of 9.05 and Av HR of 133 thats 57% WHR. On 25th Jan after a 15 miler the day before on exactly the same route I did the 6 miles at an Average pace of 9.50 and Av HR of 141 62% WHR. Up until tonight I have always had to slow myself down to do a 140bpm run, tonight for the first time ever I had to keep speeding up and didn't actually ever get above 140 apart from on a hill near the end.
Not sure yet whether this is just a freakish one off but I remember from last year that my improvement did seem to come in a chunk rather than gradually, so heres hoping. I will find out later this week...*crosses fingers*

Deenzy - I often find the HR comes down after a long run or race. No idea why.
Hellen - yes, thanks, perhaps ill advised, but I missed Draycote last year and don't want to miss it again. I am going for completion only. Your HR will certainly be more sensitive to inclines when tired, yes. Be that at the end of a long run or tired through lack of sleep.
Talking of strange HR phenomenonenomeneomenem, I often find my HR is HIGH after a good night's sleep! What's that about?!
