Today's training: 4.81 miles (per t6), neighborhood loop, 48:26 (10:05 min/mi), 142 bpm avg/152 max/1:20 over 150
Weight: 169
The T6 (as reported by STraM) distance was off again. 4.81 versus "google distance" of 4.90. This is 1.9% low, which is consistent with the 1.6% low I experienced yesterday. Is it possible, breaking in new shoes causes this? I'll readjust based on today since I had such a slow pace yesterday. Today's cal factor was 1.029. I've reset it to 4.90*1.029/4.81 = 1.048.
Time average for last three 5-mile recovery runs: 49:11/142, 50:14/144, 48:26/142. All pretty much in line. I'm hoping yesterday was just a bad day and not an indication of just how tough the course is. My neighborhood loop isn't a complete cake walk either though. STram reported about 12 minutes uphill (260 feet total), 24 minutes flat, and 12 minutes downhill (275 feet total). For the marathon course, STraM reported 35 minutes uphill (341 feet), 89 minutes flat, and 27 minutes downhill (348 feet), so the course should be a little easier. I did run farther, but I ran 10+ into work without my pace falling off. I only ran 10:30 miles, but the route to work is considerably steeper (630 feet in 10.5 miles with basically equal ascent and flat time). Here's a theory for Sunday. I was very hungry. I didn't eat that morning and went to bed hungry the night before. Maybe I just ran out of gas and that drove my heart rate up. Let's hope. OK, enough overanalyzing.
