http://connect.garmin.com/activity/61858921 329C003 eyeglass/boot route at 1533. 6 miles done in 52:15 at avg. 8:42 pace with AHR being 146 (84% of MHR). MP should be 8:37 and at 79-88% MHR. I was five seconds off per mile from MP from time perspective. Was within MP HR intensity range. All splits within 8 seconds of each other. High consistency. 844/135, 845/146, 838/148, 843/150, 846/151, 838/151. This run was not easy. I felt like I was going faster than 84% MHR. I knew I ran MP Tuesday with 85% MHR and 9:02 pace. If I ran 9:02s with that kind of HR, what was my HR for 8:42s? I suppose I could have looked at the HR while doing the run...but I wanted to maintain the pace and then assess. Tuesday of course was my first day back to running after 16 days off. So what does this mean to me...I think I am getting my fitness back. Earlier I had reported running at high HR intensities and pace seemingly not reflecting effort. Now pace is where I would expect it to be given effort.
