What a difference 10bpm makes...

I did a recovery run today which was 5 miles in one of my lower zones. I decided to stay between 150-155bpm anyway and managed an 8:43 pace.

My splits:

First half - 21:32/8:36 pace
Second half - 22:03/8:49 pace

Tomorrow I'll probably be doing a base run and calisthenics.

My comment about 10bpm? At 144bpm, I am putting in about a 9:15 minute pace. Averaging 150bpm over the entire run shaves 30 seconds off. This is pretty exciting stuff!

See ya out there!
