Ahh Thanks very much for that El Bee.
ok then, so do you think that what I planned as easy runs could just be done about 70% but just maybe not as long as the others? I do fancy trying a short faster run - as you say, to stop me from going mad and so i don't feel like i'm always just plodding! What I might do is start really short and extend the time by a min or so as I get fitter.
By pretty unfit i really mean very very so  actually i'm not that bad, i have seen a lot of improvement since I started running but it's a relative value so I guess it's hard to say exactly how unfit

1st March 2009 ... 8.3 miles at sub 70% wHR ... 1:20:19 @ 138 bpm avHR.
7th February 2010 ... same 8.3 mile run ... 1:17:21 @ 127 bpm avHR.
So 3 minutes faster despite 11 bpm lower HR.

Mornin' Jambobo, what are the numbers? What kind of warm up did you do?

Hey there, did about a mile and a half slow run as a warm up. I got the max hr up to 200, my resting hr is 55.

You might get it a bit higher with a longer warm up that has a few strides and such in it, but if 150 feels really easy and 178 feels really hard then you probably got it about right!

Jacko at a guess it means you're getting faster (fitter)! I'd look to see a trend as opposed to comparing to runs (wind, stress etc can skew the figures). But at a guess I'd say it bodes well...

p.e
too
same run no extreme variants apart from last run was with heavy and tired legs due to high mileage so i think could be even lower . 2 races in jan and 2 course pb's to boot so definately getting fitter

eL Bee!
Lower HR - faster pace!
As a snapshot it suggests your are better conditioned - or running more efficiently!
