Hi Phil, grand .. not to worry if pulse goes up on trail section, once on normal terrain try to focus on bringing pulse back down
this is quite an important exercise, it is not necessarily slowing your pace down but more a case of regulating your breathing, changing your cadence. Try to understand what relaxes you and when you start to run quicker, what changes do you make. Ideally, during a race, you apply relaxing at speed and with a simple arm pull (elbow going back slightly harder, you can increase pace) .. experiment with yourself, what relaxes you and how to discover your groove
long runs, if used correctly, can iron out poor form and develop
apologies if I got a little carried away with this
enjoy your weekend and running
