AM - 14 miles. Second to last Alta run of the summer... sad. Probably will get one more the morning after the Peruvian Dash, but its hardly still summer up there a month from now. Anyways, we did the usual deal. Kramer needed 15 so I skipped the warmup mile (taper!) and then ran 14 with him. As always, it was a great run. We did 8 campground loops and a couple out and backs on the flat road.

PM - 4 miles.

Last week I wore Andrea's HR monitor on a typical easy run... my HR avg was 117 bpm (7:45 pace, flat) for that run. I was curious about what would happen going from 4K to 9K feet so I wore it again this morning. Today we averaged 7:30 pace for a run with quite a bit of climbing, at a much higher elevation, and my HR avg was 133 bpm. So, about what you would expect given the hills. I don't think the high elevation affects me too much on flatter terrain.

I'm not really all that interested in tracking HR data. Information overload... I even turned off all of the sounds/auto-splits on my Garmin a few months ago because even that was too much external feedback. But, sometimes I get curious about stuff and figure its worth posting / sharing. I mainly just like the graph of the correlation between HR and the elevation profile.

really nice arrow.

i assume you were wearing the garminbelieverfriend to get graphs like that.

Of course. How else would I get the arrow in there? I just said "arrow" and the shape-voice recognition app that James loaded on to the device put it right in.

That's really cool. I want to do it next week and have Kramer wear it.

HR monitors are a lot like Strava... kind of pointless, but good for making cool charts and graphs.

You have to run absurdly fast downhills and absurdly (sp?) easy uphills to maintain a constant heartrate.

I don't know what my heart rate is most of the time, I just figure when I want to barf and am breathing like a freight train it's pretty high lol. I like the whole training-by-feel gig. I have heard that altitude effects people differently, some tolerate it better than others. It's not terribly high, but coming from near sea level and running St. George the altitude didn't seem to make any difference whatsoever. I think the dryer air actually felt better.

Agree, April. I have no idea what my max HR is, and don't really care... I figure when I'm running as fast as I can and it feels like its about to rip through my chest, I'm in the right zone :-)

That's awesome. I didn't know Garmin Training Center showed HR. I'm going to have to try it

Interesting. I would have guessed they'd be similar but not to that extent. Such a great image with those rollers.
