Robie Creek 2 Hour Training Run

.. that’s what I did a couple of days ago along the Greenbelt here in Boise on a beautiful early spring day.

Above is my heart rate for the 2 hour run.

A few things to note … the first mile or so - not sure why it shows my heart rate so high.  I have noticed that often, the beginning of a run the heart rate is elevated then settles into a lower rate.

To be honest, I don’t believe it.

The other thing to notice is that gradual increase in heart rate over time.  What you should know is that I kept my effort consistent throughout the run as best I could … with the exception of the full stop I made at the one hour mark.

Right where I marked the chart - at 12.4 miles, 166bpm is where I stopped at a cross walk.  I was absolutely beat at that point and could barely get started running again.

Next thing.

Just finished a 30+ minute run that included something I haven’t done in probably 20+ years - run a sub-six minute mile.

At the Boise high school track, I did a mile (1,600 meters) in 5:56 - 1:33, 1:30, 1:27, 1:26.
