Ep64: Why Does My Heart Rate Increase Throughout a Steady Run?

You may have seen this pattern too: Having finished a steady paced run you notice that your pace stayed reasonably constant, your perceived effort remained even throughout, but your heart rate data shows that your heart rate increased throughout the session.

Sounds familiar?

Let's discuss why that happens,,,

Today I wanted to answer a question that has come-in from a listener via Twitter. Pyper wanted to know about using parkrun as part of her long slow run during marathon training.

Ep52: June Running Challenge - Looks Like I Need to Find More Hills

I've been thinking about what I can do next month to build upon my "Every day in May" challenge this month... Something I know I lack here in Norfolk is hilly running routes, so I'm going to set myself the challenge next month to try and achieve 1,000 meters vertical gain per week with my running. To some that won't seem like much... but to me it'll be a big step-up and will build some great leg strength!

Are you going to join me?
