6.1 miles hard

With conditions improving I decided to try my usual 6-mile route wearing the Newtons for an easy route PB, although the ice at New City Road cost me a bit of time. I was inside 6:20/mile on reaching Dorchester Avenue, fell slightly outside it over the next couple of miles due to a combination of hills and tired legs, but got back inside in the last mile. Finished via Maryhill Road instead of Garscube Road to avoid the worst of the side streets but I didn't quite manage to beat 38 minutes or even get into HR zone 5 as I had hoped. The distance came out at 6.05 miles, time 38:05 for a 6:18/mile average, HR 160.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 6:19 (143), 6:13 (158), 6:07 (161), 6:31 (163), 6:32 (166), 6:02 (167)
HR zones: 0.8%, 2.8%, 32.0%, 64.4%, 0%
