Hey Shondek,

Are you saying that you ran the first mile and walked the rest?

If so, it's not abnormal to start walking and be faster than running and your HR be the same or lower. Back when I was running/walking in the 15-17:00 range, I would be running at a particular HR and speed, then start walking at the same speed, and my HR would drop ten beats. You're not leaving the ground when you walk, unlike the glorious soaring and flying we do when running at 17:38 pace. Cool
