Run workouts - Plan metrics seem at odds with each other

@Prof or @Marjaana
I was hoping that either of you could take a look at the Run Workouts associated with my current Duathalon plan. It seems to me the Pace metrics are way too hard for me to accomplish and the Heart Rate metrics seem to be low if I try and follow those. Meaning, if I try and up the Pace to come closer to the Pace suggested, but still not at the Pace suggested because it is just not feasible for me as they stand, then my heart rate is way above what the plan is calling for. It just appears that the two should be better matched than what they are and since they are not, I am struggling with which one to follow or attempt to follow that is. I did a testing week that included biking and running and I am more than happy, well maybe I should say I would do a testing week again if needed (LOL), if that would help.

Thanks!

Thank you! No problem. Just wanted someone to look at it as it just seems the two metrics don’t really line up with each other. And, Thursday’s run was the first day I have actually been able to fully follow the workout by heart rate so I have improved but the pace values are just way too hard. Thanks again for looking!!
