Felt great today. Just rolling along. The pace was a bit slow for this heart rate but I’m ok with it since it was pretty warm out there.

Mark,
What was your average heart rate during your recent marathon run?

Sten, I chose not to wear my heart rate monitor during the marathon and just ran by feel. I felt that, with race day jitters, that was a better way for me to go on that day.
That said, 165 would roughly be my target heart rate for marathon race pace.
I have a very high maximum heart rate of 200.

You’re not kidding about ‘pretty warm out there’, it’s boiling HOT! So glad I ran this morning before the sun warmed the earth too much. Nice stats there!
