Finished a 5 mile hilly trail loop in about the same pace as in 2009 when my run fitness was more well established. However, avg heart rate was up by 10 and peak was up by 15, mostly because I was attacking the climbs just to see what would happen. (Answer: I got tired.) But later in the flat bits going a bit faster than usual felt very easy in comparison.
Too bad this kind of effort doesn't pay off with noteworthy speed. It just kills me reading race reports of people running 6 minute miles at heart rates of like 150.
