1/2 Marathon Training
6 mile long run. 54:55 for a 9:09 pace.
Avg HR = 164 Max HR = 177
Avg speed = 6.6 Max speed = 8.1
I was trying to keep my pace at around 9:30. I just could not keep my legs going any slower. I don't know if it was the wind and slightly cool weather that made me run faster then I wanted to or what. It did not feel like a real hard pace, so maybe I can push it harder. Although my HR was higher then I thought it should be. I am not sure if this HRM is acting correct or what. I need to some more testing with it.
Any HR experts out there, does this seem correct? I mean by the way the Garmin figures my HR my max is 185. So in a long run I stayed close to 90% of my max HR? This does not seem correct as it did not feel like I was really working hard at all. I did not feel out of breath at all.
