Thanks Ed!
I tried to reply here last night, but it somehow must have been lost on it`s way.
I think you are about right with the HR / easy pace estimation for me, or at least for what was my fitness level before this involuntary break.
I haven`t really gotten into HR training, but started using the HR belt again in late June, and used this "rule of thumb": easy pace = 5.00-5.30, HR 130-150.
I guess maybe it`s better to keep it as low as possible then, so sub 140.
BUT: I`m curious to know, how much of a deviance should I expect from my "pre off period" HR/pace-ratio, after five weeks of pretty little running? Should I expect the HR to jump quicker into "uneasy" zone?
AND: Is it possible to tell from HR level if you are actually still sick, and should not be running?
All the best
