5.9 miles moderate

The club training session was supposed to be a steady 6-mile run, so I thought it should be safe enough. The route took us out the top gate and along the canal to the Kelvin Walkway, then through the Botanic Gardens and along Great Western Road. It became apparent that the pace was far from steady and was only going to increase, so I eased off for the climb up Cleveden Road and let the leaders get away, although I could still see them in the distance by the time I reached Dawsholm Road. Got back to the gates in 38:50 for a 6:36/mile average, assuming the measured distance of 5.89 miles is correct, although it might have been slightly overestimated.
