Ran my first time with the garmin and heart rate monitor. Still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles.
I am running WBR this week, but I thought I would go fairly hard today. I like rest, buy my body likes to be use to fast running to run fast (avoid side aches). I di dmy 1.5 mile warm up and then the timed 10K with the splits. I wanted to keep close to 7 min miles.
I don't have my Garmin right now, but it was 7:02, 7:04, 7:04, 7:15, 7:35, 7:35, with a 44:20 total time. My heart rate was 162-5 on the first three miles then climbed up over 170 for the last miles. Miles 5, 6 are all up hill.
I have a 3.3 up hill leg, then a 5 mile flat and then a 5 mile down hill leg. #12 on Ragnar wasatch back relay. I want to keep a decent pace on the first leg and not blow my legs. The flat, I should be able to run under 7s the second leg. The last leg should be closer to 6:40s if the hill is not too steep so I can just lean into the hill and fly. But I have ran by feel for many years and it has served me well, so I think that will be my first decider.
