And for those interested in the results, here are my MAF (Max Aerobic Function) tests from the last 8 or so months. What these are are a 3 mile warm up followed by 5 miles at 155 beats per minute average. As you can see in November of 2010 I ran at a pace of 7:58 for the 5 miles. However in May of 2011 I did it again at a pace of 7 minutes flat per mile at the same heart rate.
