Dorset Doddle prep long run. Tried to stick to HR zone 3 and lots of learnings. I need to revisit my zones probably - according to my watch zone3 is below 150, but post-run it looks like most of my running is zone 4 which means there is a discrepancy of a few beats. Not sure if it makes that much difference, but could just be the difference between a comfortable vs. uncomfortable last third of the run.
Used 2 gels and only about 4dl refreshments - maybe both not sufficient. On the graphs and also in reality it felt a slog after about 24-25k, from there on it became nearly impossible to keep HR below 150 and still be running. I managed to finish the last few k's on around 155HR but slowing down below 6min/km.
Became quite dark towards the end. Saw lots of deers in Windsor Great Park. Fought lots of mosquitos on the Thames path towards the end.
