OK ... the higher heart rate during the 2000's is what we seek during that session and it is also the reason why we design the session in such a manner.
In order for an athlete to gain the benefits of a certain energy field they need to run at a certain intensity for 2 minutes and more. The 2000m session achieves this best for the development of your speed endurance
which basically develops your ability to sustain a 10k race pace
The higher pulse of 6 bpm can change from one week to the next according to how you feel on the day, whether you slept well, how anxious you are or whether you have put on weight
don't read too much into it
If there is one tip I can give .. be concerned when we are concerned
from what I know you have been through a number of changes lately not related to running and the adaptation to this can affect everything
also please remember that the athlete that was there not so long ago is still there, the running has not changed, your life circumstances have and once that gets back into alignment your running will blossom once again
this is a normal process
before you know it things should start flowing comfortably .. we have also learnt a fair amount regarding how you cope, or don't cope in this case, with long runs etc
so look forward and everything should come back stronger than before
I hope this helps

ps.. I wrote this out here because this happens to a number of runners however many of them would not ask the question, so those reading this thread can also benefit
