Unfortunately I was convinced to not wear my HR monitor during Boston last year. Mistake. Wish I had more information about that day to look over now.
I do, however, have data from the 2013 Lansing Marathon. For that event, I trained using the Higdon Advanced 1 plan to run 7:30 pace on the flat Lansing course which yielded a time of approximately 3:19.
Here's some of the rest of the data I'm looking at:
- I can hold an average HR of at least 155 for at least 3 hours, 20 minutes. If my fitness has increased (which I think it has since 2013), I can likely go faster while averaging a similar HR provided I'm properly rested and nourished.
- While manipulating the HR data, my HR averaged 159 for the last six miles....not too much of an increase
- Max HR was 174 at the very end of the race while running about 6:15 pace. I was cooking at the end, so maybe too much left in the tank.
I don't really have any other HR marathon data to look over that is relevant as other events were run considerably slower because of different goals.
That's it for now.....time to sleep.
