I got a 6 mile run in this morning, legs felt good. The average heart rate was 133 BPM which looked reasonable.  The data from the workout hasn't synced with Garmin Connect or been analysed yet.  I look forward to seeing how intervals compare since I was running blind today without any HR, pace, or even time feedback during the workout.  All I knew was the distance.  All my intervals had different amounts of elevation gains/losses so I don't know how well I did at maintaining and even effort.  The work out was broken down into a 5-minute warm-up, 5x1000m repeats at open 5K race pace with 400m easy recovery intervals, and then 10-minute cool down. 

Steve, what type of heart rate monitor do you use?  I use the Garmin chest strap HRM's.  I have worn out several of them.  Then they start to fail the HR data starts to give high readings.  When mine started to fail they would often start by giving a high reading for the first 5-10 minutes then drop back down to a reasonable number.  Then after doing that for a while they would stay high for the entire work out.  

Have a great day!
