Race: Fairfield Half Marathon.  

8:37 am ran 13.11 in 2:03:11 at 9:24 pace per mile at 158 bpm for 91% MHR.  Not the best pace…but did run at the highest end of Lactate Threshold range (LT 82-91%).  Thus this was a quality effort for the Half Marathon.  Hot.

Week 2 of 18 Summary: Ran 16.22 of 45 scheduled.

That's cool you can post your stats from your Garmin. Which one do you have? I just purchased the 405 and waiting to get it.

nice race, PRE!

From Scott Wesemann on Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 17:15:33 from 66.239.250.209

Nice race PRE. I can't imagine racing in that heat.

Tara - Hi. I have the Forerunner 305. I think your going to like your new watch and the features. One of the primary ways I judge my effort at this point is by monitoring my heart rate. For example, the run above shows a 9:24 pace per mile for this half marathon. I would have suspected I did not perform very well if not for the heart rate monitor. My last Marathon was done at 8:58 pace per mile. But the heart rate monitor shows I ran this half marathon at 91% Max Heart Rate! And so a decent race.

Allie - Thank you very much. I am very glad to see you running more. I hope you are feeling good about the running you are doing. Hoping you continue to heal.

Interesting that your last 2 miles were on the fast end. Good race, the heat really makes a difference.

From The Quiet Pirate on Sat, Jul 02, 2011 at 09:40:50 from 174.110.223.249

I've never thought about using the heart rate monitor that way. It sounds like a good way to judge your effort.

Nice Run!

From Burt on Sat, Jul 02, 2011 at 15:48:58 from 72.223.90.99

Good job PRE. I'm in no shape right now to run that fast.

From PRE on Wed, Jul 06, 2011 at 22:43:39 from 99.50.214.225

Scott Wesemann - I thought you raced in all kinds of weather!!! Hope your training for the upcoming Ultra is going well.

flatlander - thanks. Good point about the last two miles...Now I don't seem to recall if I stepped on the gas there - I did notice that the splits show more elevation loss than gain for the last two miles.

The Quiet Pirate - Thanks. I think I started using the Heart Rate monitor around the time I read "Advanced Marathoning" by Pfitz. I don't worry about pace anymore. I used to struggle with trying to figure out why my pace was so off at times (weather, hills, etc.) - so much easier looking at heart rate.)

Burt - Thank you Burt. You're in no shape right now to run that fast? I admire how well you do during your races. Hope you have no injuries. It seemed for a while there that many people on this site were getting injured.
