Heart rate gonna heart rate.especially at race pace. No reason 160 isn’t maintainable for marathon. What do you really think it should be? I think the better question is how did the pace for that distance feel? If it was fairly easy even with your running build up over the past few weeks then that pace may be slightly above your current conditioning for a marathon.
At this point since this isn’t your “A”, you have two choices come race day. Take it easy and stick with slower pace / heart rate or Walter white it! Go out stick to goal pace and see how it goes. If you fall off then you adjust get to the finish line and know what needs to happen to achieve your goal at the “A” race. Life is short. Running is a hobby. Just go for it.
What 100 miler are you planning to tackle? I might know a little about running that distance.

Go hard or suffer for the rest of your life!!
Obviously I’m more of a go hard kind of runner, so I tend to push my limits maybe more than most. Agree with KS & Bilbeau tho. Feel is more telling than HR, esp for racing.
Go big, Andavari!!

Yea I was gonna say according to my watch I lived at about 165 I think for grandmas. Felt easy the whole way until mile 21/22 and even then I maintained.

Thanks guys! I kinda agree with you all, why have I put myself through 3 50+ mile weeks, and SO MANY MORE MILES IN GENERAL + way more "workouts" because of those miles this time if I'm not going to leave it all out on the line.
Going into taper next week I will make sure to listen to my body and heal up the best that I can, 2 more weeks until Judgement Day, there is no going back now!
Tunnel Hill in Vienna, IL, the place for the 50 mile record. There is a loose, small gravel trail about 3 miles from my house that is VERY similar to Tunnel Hill and 17 miles in all, so I'll be training on it a lot once training starts.
I do not plan to do a 100 miler training plan, I plan to just do a Marathon Training plan with a "few" and I mean very very few, long runs that are over the 22 mile threshold. After doing a lot of research and reading about the "top talent" in the ultra scene, it pretty much appears that most of the top athletes still just keep the "under 3 hours" rule in place when training.
