As for adjusting your pace ... I'd just go by feel. Running faster than you should because some plan tells you to might get you hurt if its not considering the heat; on the other hand, if your HR is up but you feel fine, maybe its time to quit paying so much attention to the HRM.

Would I be better to maintain a slower pace altogether or try to run my normal pace mixed in with episodes of walking or much slower running? I did a 3/1 run/walk combo yesterday, which was more walking than I needed but I like the idea of keeping some of it at pace.
Not at it at all.
TRIing to beat the heat!
Because of the summer heat I try to schedule goal races late enough in the fall so that the heat doesn't have an impact on my key workouts. It still amazes me how much faster I run once we get into fall and the weather cools off.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
