Warmed up with 3 easy miles.  Ran 4 miles at tempo pace.  Wanted to run around 6:22/mile which is a 6:30/mile effort on the course that I was running.  Splits were: 6:21, 6:22, 6:19, 6:25.  Felt pretty good throughout the run.  Heart rate gradually increased starting at 166 during the first mile, 169 during the second, 172 in the third and finished at 175.  I was hoping that I could keep a more steady heart rate.  I think that this means that I was running at closer to 10K pace than at LT.  I've discovered bone spurs in both my feet and they were bothering me more than usual during the 2 mile cool down.

Total Time:  1:04:41 (7:11/mile)

Avg HR: 157

I experience an upward heart rate drift for the first 4 miles even at marathon pace. On an easy run it drifts for about 8 miles before stabilizing. When I am in good neural shape, on a threshold run it drifts for about 4 miles . When my nervous system does not work right, it drifts up for the first 2 miles, then stagnates or drops a bit, and I am not able to maintain the pace. All of the above happen even when I am properly hydrated and the weather is cool.
