3.9 miles easy, 6 miles moderate

In the morning I ran a longer route along the canal, this time up to Shakespeare Street for 3.85 miles in 29:08, average pace 7:34/mile, HR 136. Noticed that my quads were finally starting to hurt from the increased mileage.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:11 (130), 7:26 (139), 7:22 (138), 7:14 (141)
HR zones: 3.3%, 66.1%, 30.5%, 0%, 0%

After lunch I tried out the adiZero Mana on another old route, through Ruchill Park, up Balmore Road, along Skirsa Street, past Summerston Station and back down Maryhill Road. I set off quite slowly but started to pick it up a bit on Balmore Road. I had expected to make up some time down the hill to Summerston but the path was dangerously icy, so it was only inside the last mile that I got my average pace below 6:45/mile. The Mana were fine, like a lighter version of the Tempo. Finished the 6.04 miles in 40:30, average pace 6:43/mile, HR 151.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:26 (141), 6:47 (146), 6:38 (149), 6:46 (153), 6:27 (157), 6:13 (161)
HR zones: 0.9%, 6.6%, 77.9%, 14.6%, 0%
Weekly total: 52 miles
