.. 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.
