7.1 miles moderate

Dodged the club's track pyramids session in favour of a steady long-ish run around the West End. I was aiming for somewhere inside 7:15/mile but it wasn't too much trouble to run a bit quicker. The route was along Great Western Road to Anniesland Cross, down Crow Road, up Clarence Drive, back down Great Western Road to Cowcaddens and up Garscube Road. The distance came out slightly shorter than expected at 7.1 miles. Time was 47:32, average pace 6:42/mile, HR 153. Felt fitter than on Monday although both hips were a bit tight. I was only in HR zone 4 climbing Clarence Drive, crossing a couple of junctions on Great Western Road, and in the last half mile, so the average pace isn't bad for comparatively little effort.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:03 (144), 6:38 (149), 6:28 (153), 6:40 (153), 6:51 (157), 6:32 (157)
HR zones: 0.8%, 2.1%, 88.8%, 8.3%, 0%
