nice workout. you are religious about getting HR data. is there something specific you are looking for with your HR? how do you use your data?

I guess that I track it to see if I am improving. I'm not very good at sensing my effort or even knowing if I am doing well. Sometimes I'll think, "Man, I am not doing well, I'll bet my HR is high and my pace is slow." Then I check my HR and it's where I want it to be, but lower than I thought it was, and my pace is also good. Then I think, "Man, I'm doing great!" and the rest of the run goes well. The opposite has never happened - so I keep tracking...

I also track it in hopes of knowing what 'effort' I can maintain during a marathon without ruining the last 3-4 miles, as well as comparing equivalent runs to see if I am improving or overtraining.

But really, I'm mostly anal and even though I know it's not worth as much as I want it to be, the more information I have, the better I'll be (at least at analyzing, not necessarily running...)
