Half marathon training

[Héctor]

Hi TheEd. Couldn't do too much these last days. Been a little worried because of a persistent niggle in the inner side of my right ankle. Tried to ice a 2 to 3 times a day since last sunday. Did only a little stationary bike and short 20 minutes run on the gym treadmill.

Today I did 16,7 k trying to run the last 15 at "marathon pace". Seems that I have overestimated my form, because my heart rate was at around 166 almost during all the run, even if I tryed to slow down a little (I started at around 4:45/k). I don't understand, when I ran the last half it was around 167/170, but for a 10 seconds per k faster pace. Maybe I still haven't fully recovered from last week efforts.

Here is the data:
