Looking at AHR for each mile, I reckon you'd be hard pushed to reach the supposed MHR each mile even if you threw in some quick strides. When I was still using HR, 140 would be about my easy run HR. 170 would be mara/HM rate but would take a couple of miles to get up there after hitting the pace.
I've managed to get myself demoted to the B race for the Fast Friday 10,000m. So hopefully I can endure 25 laps of agony surrounded by runners of roughly similar pace, rather than suffering the same pain whilst being lapped three times by Paul Martelletti.
North Downs Run (30k) this Sunday. (Incorporating British Masters' trail championships.) Hope it's worth missing the first half of the footie!

Yeah 140 is my easy run effort, aspirational max hr in ultra (i always go over).
Maybe fatigue & heat were influencing things but i'd expect sustained raised hr if so.
The thought alone of running at 170bpm for longer than 10km race duration hurts. Maybe a hm is something I should try to race again, a focus for next year perhaps.

P.s. Enjoy the B race, sounds a good option.

4 weird spikes on my hr today, ran v.steady throughout. Strap battery most likely?
Edit: log reckons nearly every mile had spikes of 160plus despite v.steady ave, was never working that hard... weird.
