Like yesterday, today's 6 miles was to be an easy run, based on the schedule. During yesterdays run my HR kept creeping up into the 160, so today I definately wanted to keep that in check.
While my average HR was the same today, I felt like I took it a little easier today, and my HR only got into the 160's when I was going up a hill.
Also during this run, I did another calculation of sweat rate, this time doing more of a true calculation by removing the effect of liquid absorbed into clothing. The conditions were similar as the last time - 75 degrees with 65% humidity and little direct sun.
It was an easier run then yesterdays 4 miles, as far as my legs felt. It was also a good 60 seconds per mile slower pace. Even with that, my HR seemed to hover around 150 at its lowest. It may be that with my current condition level, any jogging speed results in a HR of 150, and therefore at those speeds I am operating on the front side of the efficiency curve. In other words, at those slower speeds, walking becomes a much more efficient means of travel.
