6.7 miles hard

In anticipation of a faster-than-usual fast pack I took my Newtons to training, and the pack turned out to consist of just me and Joe. We were only sure of the first half of the route so we didn't give the other packs too much of a start, and spotted some distant figures at the top of Cowal Road while we were on our way down the hill. After battling up Cleveden Road we picked it up a bit and caught the next pack on Byres Road. The part of the route we weren't sure of took us down Clarence Drive and up Crow Road, and we managed to overtake the last pack at Anniesland Cross, even though Joe was evidently taking it a bit easier than usual. Finished the 6.7 miles in 43:16 for a 6:27/mile average. Pace splits: 6:58, 6:47, 6:14, 6:18, 6:15, 6:31, 6:00.
