i felt strong today so did my ankle. it felt tight, steady and dependable. i felt it first only after 9 miles when descending san francisco. when i got home i iced it along with my left knee, which i felt for the first time in weeks.
i ran 10.1 miles in 1h28min. decent pace. this is a really interesting route, however i will try to avoid running through downtown, - too many lights which mess up the rhythm and pace.
one thing has been on my mind recently and that is my heart rate. either my monitor's battery is dying or i am not pushing myself enough, or my training is paying big time dividends. the case is that on average my heart rate is in the recovery zone (below 150bpm. the average is about 147bpm) on almost every run. i recalculated my zones, my rest heart rate (51bpm) and maximum heart rate (192bpm). everything seems fine. on LT's i push myself very hard to reach 85% and than i run to my mind too fast, - pace about 7:05min/mile. i don't mind running so fast but i know i won't be able to sustain such an exhilarating pace for a long time, for e.g. a marathon.
does anybody have any ideas? or is it normal that after sometime the heart rate drops, and we start running more efficient?
