I hate running
Warm-up:
0.5 mi jog
WOD 070830
Run 5k
25:49
2x1 min front planks
3x8 (per arm) windmills (30# KB)
Ran on a treadmill (1% incline, set between 7.1-7.6). I didn't find this fun at all, was really thinking I could stick to a 8'/mi pace. Guess it's time to work more aerobic conditioning in. I wore a heart rate monitor, and it was consistently above 170 bpm, peaking at 202 bpm. This seems abnormally high for such slow running?? Poor efficiency?

Nice work! A couple of reasons for the increased heart rate, off the top of my head:
1) the incline - working against gravity adds a surprising amount of work
2) breathing - i *always* have breathing issues, so not being used to this kind of aerobic work means you might have efficiency to gain
And I hate running too...
Breathing sounds right, I was a bit congested this afternoon, so that makes sense.
Key question: how do they divide old and young?
Young were <= 29 yo (mean, ~25)
Old were >=49 yo (mean, ~55)
Young were <= 29 yo
Damn...
