Same old same old for me...still feels really unnatural. First couple of miles fighting to run slow enough to keep HR under 140bpm. Would have had to walk to really get it there, but kept jogging as slowly as possible. Then HR suddenly settes down somewhere around 1 and 1/2 miles and can start to get into a rhythm and feeling like could keep going and going. Seems keeping at around the 140 mark is the hard bit cos as soon as go much below that it drops really quickly and have to work to get it back up - as proved by the fact that I checked el bee!'s measure of how quickly it takes to get back below 120bpm, which was within 10 seconds.
1) - 1m - 13:44(13:44/m) - 145bpm avge - 161bpm max - 138cal
2) - 1m - 11:25(11:25/m) - 127bpm avge - 152bpm max - 57cal
3) - 1m - 9:11(9:11/m) - 127bpm avge - 139bpm max - 66cal
4) - 1m - 8:03(8:03/m) - 133bpm avge - 145bpm max - 60cal
5) - 1m - 8:48(8:48/m) - 137bpm avge - 143bpm max - 78cal
6) - 1m - 8:31(8:31/m) - 136bpm avge - 148bpm max - 76cal
(mile 3 overall uphill, mile 4 overall downhill, mile 5 uphill again)
Not giving up yet - am sure it will get easier *crosses fingers*

My watch does 2 min recoveries (options for short recover as well).
You'll have a problem if your HR doesn't recover in 2 mins to 120 on these runs (It would mean you ran WAYYY to fast) since the method was developed for intervals, the idea being you stop as soon as your HR does not recover to 120 in 2 mins, and therefore prevent overtraining.

lol, I don't run to HR in training so certainly wouldn't in a race, lol. I don't wear HR in races anymore as the strap annoys me as it won't stay in place.

Running at as low a HR as possible certainly seems to have become the new running X miles at X pace on this thread, lol.
