I assume this is because of the inefficiency of being 50 pounds heavier than the prototypical runner, but maybe there is some other explanation.
Also, My easy pace does not improve running under 130BPM with a max of around 185 BPM. 145ish on non-workout days is much better. I have fun and can run with better runners when I want to. Mileage is lower , cross training is higher and fatigue is lower, or no worse than with LSD( carrying 50 pounds around for hours for no good reason is tiring) .
^^^This. Faster-twitch muscle fibers are slow to adapt aerobic adaptations, and may not be recruited enough if your pace is kept too slow.
Heart rate training is great for aerobic fitness, but often ends up sacrificing neurologic fitness.
Another item often ignored is that higher intensity exercise increases insulin sensitivity, which makes it easier to burn fat. For runners who are not already lean, long slow runs may not be the optimal way to lose weight, as these runs do not yield the hormonal changes needed to become lean.
Right. This is why middle distance training produces the best marathons. All of that high-intensity work raises fat-burning ability.
Because I have a high heart rate and even going at paces 2.5 minutes per mile slower than my 5k pace it is still 170 even though it feels easy asf (full nasal breathing, zoning out). If I train by heart rate I’d end up going so slow I’d get no aerobic benefit

Either you: are extremely weak aerobically, your Max HR is like 220, or you’re measuring with wrist HR.
Or some combination of all three

Jakob chugs almost an entire 32-oz sports drink in 6 seconds during interview
I don't believe Jakob is clean. injured and runs 3:26.7 a bit later?
After Jakob's 3:26, Kerr's chance of winning in Paris has INCREASED
