That doesn't bode well for me and my wifes second ever run together...
My club session last night was all about heart rate control so therefore running slowly up and down hills, we got bored on the final loop and just went for it, but for the other 6k I managed to keep my hr to below 140 which was definitely slow! Its a lot easier if it feels like you are doing it for a reason and there's some recent research that working at the lower end of your heart rate improves efficiency*
*i haven't actually read it myself yet so it could be bullshit.
In other news I ran in a tshirt and shorts last night and it actually wasn't that bad!
