eL Bee!
IanR 85% is ambitious for the marathon!!!!
I ran my 3:12 at 82% (with drift up to just over 90% in the last 3 km)
And that was on the back of good training and a few races at the distance, and 2 ultras under my belt!!!!
A true 85%, unless you are REALLY well conditioned and have run plenty of marathons, would be a big ask, and much more likely to result in you crashing into the Wall at 19/20 miles!!!

People do manage 85% but that is not cos they run at their usual 85% pace (ie the pace they woudl do a tempo run) but because HR is elevated as EP has said. My marathon at around 80% actaully equated to the same pace that in training would have been closer to 70%.

A bit tongue in cheek but also a bit of seriousness - I think you need to relax a bit hellen!

I can understand that, really, but remember that that demonstrates *why* we HR train. Those two runs my body put in exactly (pretty much) the same effort. The fact that one was a fair bit slower is irrelevant in the scheme of HR training. If you see what I mean.
Anyway, I'm off to the pub and then to the football, there's a cold black one with my name on it

Girlie
16,71 miles
Hr 74%
Not bad for an LSR. was quite fast at start, but slowed down.
Could have continued and doen scheduled 18 miles but my ar$3 injury complained and I decided to stop while I could still walk.
It's more of a dull ache but very annoying now.

My first ever 20 mile run today so quite pleased, but the last three miles were a real struggle, I think I went off too quick at the start because I felt so good. 20 miles @ 8:52 m/m 75%

well done stuart, you must be feeling really pleased with yourself to have done 20 miles. That HR is OK fo rparker (just) but if you struggled for the last 3 miles it may have, as you say been because you were too fast or it could have been because you were dehydrated or in need of some calories.
