@rhb - Do you mean just any HR chest strap? When I was getting dodgy readings from my Garmin one I was recommended Polar, which was more comfy and seemed to have more reliable readings.
Minor progression on my Tuesday evening session, where I add some MP tempo before the scheduled club interval session, increasing now from 2 to 3 miles (12 laps). So last night was 3M @ MP + 5 x 1600 (200 recovery). Based on target MP 5:42/m I try to keep the tempo section 5:40 per 1600 or quicker, and target paces for 1600 reps was 5:20. Actual times 5:38/m for MP and average 5:17 for 1600 reps, last one 5:13. With an easy run in the morning, 19.7 miles for the day but I didn't feel inclined to run round the block when I got home.
