15 miles at 9:30 pace per mile in 2:22:33 with AHR being 140bpm at 80% MHR which is Easy (GA) intensity Run (70-81% MHR).

I wanted to see if I could run consistent splits.  I did.  All miles were consistent.  Each of the 15 miles were either 9:29 or 9:30 pace.  A one second spread.  Now that is CONSISTENT!

I was also curious about what the HR would look like in the later miles given consistent splits.  The HR was consistently around 140 for the first ten.  Mile 11-15 sees HR at around 145. 

Splits: 929/134, 930/138, 930/139, 929/140, 929/140, 929/139, 929/140, 930/140, 930/139, 929/141, 929/142, 929/143, 930/145, 930/145, 930/146

I consider this a good run.  My goal would be to run a Marathon at 8:30 pace per mile.  I figure that Longs could be done minute faster than PMP. 

31 Miles this week.  Fell a little short...but I did the Long Run.  That should count for something.

By the way - this run was the Stonehenge route for twelve 1.25 mile circuits done at 12 Noon.

Allie,

Thanks. I worked on that. Tried very hard to not go slower or faster than desired 9:30 pace range. Had to pull back at times, but my thinking is to hold back such that I maintain an even pace and not over extend myself. This may allow me not to falter at the tail end of the Marathon. My actual plan is to attempt a particular pace plus/minus five seconds. I really do not know if I can maintain my planned 8:30 pace up to 26.22. But it is enjoyable testing out what may or may not work.

Very consistent, good job. Not much heart rate creep either. When I can go long distances at a particular heart rate that always seems to be a good sign for the upcoming race.

Interesting. I hope you weren't stopping just short of a mile then running right when the clock struck 9:30.

Just kidding. Sorry for questioning your integrity.
