7.04 mi, 1:06:26, 9:25 avg
Ran at Longleaf with the Striders (Joe and Jamie for the first half).
I did not run by heartrate but did have some good miles. 8:59 (122), 8:32 (134, close, but a little high), 8:24 (140 - too high!), 9:33 (132 - but it did include a brief stop)
Then, was by myself for a bit so as to not slow down Jamie (doing an MP run). I ran 10:14, 10:13 (both at 130 bpm), and 10:02 (131). During the 10:13 mile I saw Anthony who ran along with me. He's also been doing heart rate training and getting ready for his first marathon (Chicago) and soon an ultra marathon someplace. He's been putting in a ton of miles for a new runner (as high as 90 mpw), but running very smart and by the book. It was good chatting with him.
I also noted how my last mile got faster at about the same heart rate while chatting. It's as if my actual effort decreased as well as my perceived effort decreasing, interesting.
