I ran 10 miles this morning in 1:17:09, with an average HR of about 145. I was super surprised by the high HR as my legs felt great, and I was running faster than normal yet felt like I was running really easy. I was convinced that the HR monitor was giving me bad readings, but when I double checked things manually I found out that the HR monitor was giving me correct readings.
So... I am thinking that the gas leak was likely not the problem, unless there is still something wrong. There were times on the run today where my HR was in the high 140's or low 150's, yet I was only running 7:45-7:50 pace. Sometimes I just feel like I am always broken. As soon as my leg and back started getting better (which is not completely the case, although they are getting close) my HR starts to rise despite no evidence of overdoing things on the training end.
