Running

^

Just re-checked the connect link, viewed as % Max the figures are more telling:

Avg HR: 84 % of Max Max HR: 90 % of Max

So first half run is below that and next half is above that average. But never gone completely bonkers (e.g. 98% of Max), so it's not terrible pacing by any stretch.

Building on what S.E. says... what were you trying to achieve in the session? have you set the Max by doing a Max test, or is it just age based? How often are you running / how long? Have you a comparison from a few months back?

As a comparison, my 10k PB 36:16 was run Ave 177bpm, 196bpm Max - which is pretty much 100%, that was aged 32 towards the end of a 12 week Marathon training block.

The maximum heart rate on there is simply what I have hit whilst wearing an HRM and a Garmin- I t hink it was on a bike that I hit the recorded max, climbing a hill.

What I was trying to achieve was to run to the coffee shop from my flat, which is basically what I would have to do in the morning during the week to get to work (or grab a coffee, then walk over the bridge to work).

The additional condition was that I wanted to do it in 50 minutes or under so as to be able to have a coffee and a shower before I started work if I did it for real.

So I was pacing myself at 08.30 minute miles.

I run twice a week I would say, although I've been lax recently as I've been working on the house and counting that as my exercise.

Ideally I would like to be able to rely on hitting 45 minutes for a 10K reliably, it feels like I'm quite a way from that at the moment.

I was 35 a couple of weeks ago.
