Today's run was a nice one. I interpreted the last 15 min at 65% as
Max HR - rest HR x 0.65 + rest HR..
I don't know if that was the right way to interpret it, but it gave me a HR of around 144..
Thing is, when I came to 45 minutes of running I ran at a pace around 4:55 and my HR was 155. It was very hard to get down to 144. That I had a small incline most of the track left didn't make it easier. It felt like it would be hard to run at all when slowing down that much. Afterwards, now, I see that I ran at 5:35, which actually isn't that much slower.
In fact it was kind of a failure since my avg HR on the last 15 min was 147...
Lap - Time - Avg pace - Avg HR
1 - 45 min - 4:55 - 153
2 - 15 min - 5:35 - 147
Cheers
