From Early February: I ran 32 minutes at 6mph. HR started in the 172bpm range early on and got to 185 at the end of the run.
Tonight's Run:
5.5 mph 10 minutes = 154 bpm
6.0 mph 10 minutes = 164 bpm
6.5 mph 7 minutes = 174 bpm
7.0 mph 3 minutes = 180 bpm
Not an identical run for comparison but I feel that it does show improvement.
Without the blog I probably wouldn't be keeping track of this information nearly as well.
Also for the sake of record keeping. I put the HR monitor on when I woke up the other morning to see what my resting HR was. 54 bpm was my resting HR. Lowest it dipped to was 48 bpm.

Looks like it's working wonders.
That's an excellent resting HR, considering you are just a "normal" guy (which is to say not a professional athlete or gung-ho fitness guy). I know Craig's is always around 6 BPM, but you can't compare to him. He eats like a Tibetan rabbit.
Keep it up and you might have to be our half-marathon guy.
I don't know about 6, but I took it right now for fun and it was 54. Once again genetics.
Matt, your numbers are looking good. I went back and checked a previous post, you were running 4.5 to 6 MPH, now you are listing 5.5 to 7. 7 MP is 8.5 min/mile, I know only for 3 minutes, but you are definately going to get under 30 min for a 5K, I think you already could do it.
I hadn't seen your post before my run, but tonight I was hoping to go 10K under 60 minutes. 6mph for 30 then 6.5 to the 10K mark. Unfortunately I guess I've got a strained muscle in my right leg. The 1st 25 minutes was fine but I think I'm going to have to lay off the running for a week and give it a break. (it's nothing major)
The good news I matched that run from February. 5K at 6mph heart rate never went above 172.
