Ran about 2.42 miles tonight in about 29:02. About .6 miles into the run, the running just became easy.
My legs felt like they were floating, just chugging along, my breathing was at a steady cadence, I felt like I could go on forever.
My heart rate was still up there, averaging about 174, but it still felt easy. I wasn’t breaking any records on speed but I felt like I could have gone faster if I wanted to.
The amazing thing was that the rest of the run felt easy as well, easy enough that I sprinted up the little hill on my street. I wanted to get my heart rate up to see what it would max at. It’s hard to tell with the HRM I have especially in the dark while running but I saw it at 193 when I slowed down a little to take a look.
Sounds about right on what all the calculators have me pegged at. I’ll have to read up more on calculating maximum heart rates.
