Evaluation Run

The plan for today was a 3 mile evaluation run at 6:40 pace. I felt pretty good during the 2 mile warm-up and noticed that my HR was staying in the high 140's at 8:00 pace. I thought the run was going to go pretty well... but shortly after I picked up the pace I began to think differently. I was breathing much too hard for the pace and my legs just weren't there. My HR shot up pretty high right away and just kept climbing throughout the effort. I ended up stopping at 2.5 miles. Here are the splits:

6:39 (177)
6:41 (186)
3:22 (189)

Recovered to 130 in 1:20 and 120 in 1:37.
