R4K 2015 vs 2016

 Felt like I managed the R4K run much better this year.  In 2015 I did 61.6 km in 8 hours and this year I did 65.1 km in the 8 hours.   looked at the overall average Heart Rate and in 2015 it was 137 BPM and in 2016 it was 132 BPM.

 HR tells the tale of walk / run / rest.

Here is 2015

Here is 2016

In 2015 I tried to keep the HR under 140bpm but gave up after 5 hours!  Did more walk breaks early on this year walking a lap doing a gel starting at 5K and about every 7K after that.  Also too a Beer break at the 6 hour mark and walked the last 3K/36min.
