Not me. By the time HR reached the level you were expecting, the rep is nearly over. And you've likely started too fast or too slow. I only look at HR data after an intervals session, not during.

Yes..in short HR for intervals isn't ideal. Only for intervals over 3mins will I attempt to use HR over Pace as a primary guide.

After 13 weeks of HR training I completed my marathon on Sunday. I knocked 6 mins of my PB from 2 years ago and am totally delighted with that, especially since my times over shorter distances are still not as fast as they were in 2008. It was the first marathon that I actually enjoyed as I felt great the entire way round and it's my first experience of keeping an even pace throughout the first 20 miles. Splits were:
5 Kilometer 25:56 (25:56)
10 Kilometer 51:22 (25:26)
15 Kilometer 1:16:47 (25:25)
20 Kilometer 1:42:21 (25:34)
Half marathon 1:48:01
25 Kilometer 2:07:56 (25:35)
30 Kilometer 2:33:42 (25:46)
35 Kilometer 2:59:25 (25:43)
40 Kilometer 3:23:59 (24:34)
Total = 3:34:31

Congrats Dru, those are good splits and nice to see them get quicker towards the end.

I wore my HR monitor so I could do some post run analysis and my max HR was 180 in the last few meters (sprint finish to beat a club mate!). I have been working off a max HR of 177 so is it reliable to use 180 given that it happened after 26.2 miles?

Congratulations Dru on what looks like a very well run race. Yes, sounds like you have a new max HR.

I'm still new to all this and still need to do my proper max HR test - at moment I've used a variety of calculators online and come out with 188 as my guestimate.
Sunday did the Cardiff (not quite) half marathon in 1.23.56 and ran consistently at 176bpm/ mile - didn't feel like I was working at maximum effort and had consistent pace in my splits. Never wore HR band in a race before so that was interesting.
I'm following Hadd principles now but want to retain my interval session as I really enjoy running with the group of guys I train with and pick up advice from them. My heart rate worked out about 160bpm for the intervals - so that would come out about 85% effort
in the winter months my double sessions usual involve a treadmill run in the morning - particularly when cold - today I tried out 3 miles at 135bpm (70%) and my HR was creeping up - as Paul suggested I think it was because of the heat in the gym. So may just have to man up and get out in the cold (cold air screws my breathing up a bit)
