Thanks GlennR. Resting HR is/was within a few beats. The parkrun HR I put down to the 'sudden' rise in effort - 1.5 miles warmup @ 9mm before hand, then off like a scalded rabbit @ 7:xx mm.

Could it be read the other way round, i.e. the half HR is depressed for the pace? Or is that all wrong?

It's certainly possible, but I'd be surprised that you managed to maintain such a good pace for the duration.

The stats to me suggest you had a bit more to give in the early stages as it was quite consistent/low until the late push came along when it increased.

I know its not like for like, but as a comparison here are my HR stats from a week old HM PB where I was at the overall avge HR by mile 2 and it stayed in that area throughout. I do wonder though if I had a bit more to give from mile 9 when I dropped off by a beat or two. Betweeen mile 12 and 13 I did back off for a bit due to a stitch

Dvorak - the whole route was more or less flat. Last 5 miles I picked up a 'chatting buddy' and we whiled away the last miles in conversation which always makes the effort seem less (to me anyway).

Ulric - the beats per miles are

Parkrun: 1083 1204 1262
Half : 1068 1046 1166 1135 1115 1143 1135 1146 1174 1137 1160 1112 1151

but I'm not sure i understand what this is telling me...

That certainly looks more like a pb effort Bazoaxe ;) I'm pretty sure I could have had a few minutes off if I'd set out more aggressively. I was using the 1:40 pacer, and losing time to them over the first few miles, as that's where I thought I was pace-wise.

...of course the balance is not going out too fast and then having a spectacular blow up some time before the end....

Mbin there was no way you were at race pace for the last 5 miles if you were chatting. Proper race pace is not being able to talk apart from a couple of words. Bit more to give from you I think.

Not sure about that Hunts, I talk to people when 'racing' a parkrun ;-)

LOL Baz, sometimes 'harder' isn't faster, let it flow ;-)

About This Thread

Maintained by Elderberry
Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
