Was feeling kind of tired this morning so I just wanted to run without worrying about hitting any particular pace. After the first mile, I started feeling a little better so I pushed a little harder for the next 2 miles. Hit the turn around point in 23:00 (just 30 seconds off 7:30/mile). I was feeling well enough to pick up the pace to make the overall average of the run 7:30/mile. Made up the difference by mile 5 and held the same pace for the last mile. So much for not worrying about my pace. Next time I want to run by feel, I will leave my watch home.

Avg HR = 152

Total Time = 44:30

Did you notice on the first mile you were working way too hard for such a low HR? That happens to me all the time - today I felt like I was really pushing it on the first mile. The pace was 8:00, and the HR was around 115. So measurements indicated I was just having a hard transitioning from sleep to running.

Later on HR went up, pace went up, but perceived effort went down. I think this happens to you when you are well developed aerobically.

My heart rate always seems to be high for the first mile (usually around 160). This is probably a combination of the sleep to run transition and the first mile being a little uphill.
