Today's run was a forced run and why did I run, I'm not too sure. I sort of wanted to run a little earlier in the day but with being on holidays I got stuck into the garden then decided to fix the pergola. One thing led to another and before I knew, it was 6 pm already.
I headed out initially deciding on a 16 km run incorporating the Werribee River. As I got to the Riverband Historical Park (my 12 km course turn-off point) I made an executive decision not to run 16 k's tonight and boy was I glad I made that decision. I was lethargic for the entire run, just didn't feel right and hence the slow pace and lowish heart rates. All in all tonights run was an effort more so than other days when I've run faster and/or longer.
In trying to analyse why the 'feel' factor was not there tonight I believe it may be due to the fact of not eating anything since lunch, at noon (2 chicken sandwiches), nearly 7 hours earlier. I was drinking heaps of water. It was not an overly warm day either. During the run it was about 17 degrees C.
My HRM is playing up again. There were a number of spikes indicating 224 bpm and at numerous times the Garmin simply not recording the heart rate. Using the software 'SportsTracks' I edited the heart rate data by simply making the spikes (200+ bpm data) the same as the readings either side of the spike, therefore a more realistic and believable figure. This also alters the average heart rate.
I suppose I'll just have to live with the fact that the Garmin 301 HRM is not always going to work as it should.

On the rare occasions I run in the evening I have a similar problem, and always feel its due to lack of fuel. Though I have no trouble doing long runs in the morning on no brekky. Wierd!
