http://connect.garmin.com/activity/62259924 332C006 Hartford Turnpike to State Street Route at 1150 with weather being cool. 5 miles done in 42:45 for 8:33 pace per mile average and at 145 bpm at 83% MHR and thus MP miles. Splits: 9:00 (137), 8:24 (141), 8:31 (146), 8:24 (150), 8:27 (153). The first mile was hilly and the next four miles see consistent splits all within seven seconds of each other. Better than MP from time perspective (mile splits). Mid MP range from HR intensity perspective. Note: Go for even splits for the long run on Saturday. I would have to rate this run as A+. Why? Because the splits were faster than MP range and the HR intensity at MP midpoint range. But I think if it were a longer run, the HR intensity average would have increased with equal effort. The front two miles always have lower HR readings, and as can be seen, the HR numbers increase with each split despite splits being consistent. Note: When look at Garmin data, pertaining to splits, Press splits and you get the splits and the elevation gain for the splits along with other pertinent data. I again was checking out the course elevation as I am running Colchester in February.
