Notes
13 mi: 2 w/u, 10 @ 7:06 avg pace, 150.6 bpm avg HR, 1 c/d.
1080 bpMi overall, bpMi = 1069 during 10 mile O&B
For comparison, last week I ran the 10 mile portion at a lower HR (144 bpm avg):
Avg Pace 7:19, avg HR 144 during O&B 10 miles.
1070 bpMi for overall run (1056 bpMi during 10 miles).
Shows I was more "efficient" last week at the slightly lower HR (144 vs. 151). Curious to see if these bpMi numbers will come back down at the higher HR's. OR, does this mean I should continue running at the 145-ish bpm HR on these O&B runs? Since today's effort felt very controlled, I think I will stick closer to 150 on my Friday O&B's and watch the trend. My expectation is that within a few weeks, bpMi would drop below 1050 bpMi at 150 bpm HR, or maybe even lower.
