For reference, my anaerobic threshold on my last (cycling) test was at 187bpm... and that was my average for this run.
My running HR, both threshold & maximum, is significantly higher than my cycling HR, even if I'm staying out of the saddle - being upright plays a big part, and larger limb movements have more of a pumping effect too.
Good work though!

Oh I know that! That's why I wanted to mention that the test was cycling. Haven't had a running lactate threshold test just yet. My triathlete friends tell me that transitioning from swim to bike can also spike it as your body adjust to suddenly being upright. I can also pinpoint on my HR graph the exact moment where my body was just like "nah, had enough" (below).
I'd say about 18k of holding this pace was on merit, the rest was just stubbornness.

As part of my training for a 70.3 next year, I wanted to bring my running up to scratch first. I've been working with the same coach for cycling for over 2 years now, and she's mainly a triathlete coach. Started Tri training 9 weeks ago with 3 run, 2 bike, and 1 swim per week, last 3 weeks phased out cycling to focus on running because I signed up for a half marathon for today.
Ran a 1:39:07 which I am incredibly happy with, and I can say with a 100% certainty that I haven't left a spare second on that course, I gave it everything. For reference, my anaerobic threshold on my last (cycling) test was at 187bpm... and that was my average for this run.
Now shifting focus to learn a good front crawl technique and not drown...
