5.01 miles at 8.95 pace @ avg HR of 162.
With this run, I was specifically focused on keeping my HR below 170. When I saw it exceed 170, I was committed to slowing to a walk for 5-10 seconds each time. This was fine most of the time, but the hills on this course are extreme (but short thankfully), and part of it HR-taxing (to me) trailwork, so I probably slowed to a walk 4-5 times overall.

1st mile in 8.62 @ 157 - This was all road and was my warmup mile.
2nd mile in 8.50 @ 161 - This was mostly road, with some trail at the end.
3rd mile in 8.73 @ 161 - All trail (I think).
4th mile in 10.17 @ 165 - Mostly trail, with some hard hill sections where I walked some.
5th mile in 8.80 @ 167 - Back on the road.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't think I do enough "easy" or "recovery" runs in my schedule so I was determined to keep my HR down in this run, but the speed didn't suffer too much, so I'm proud of that at least.
