2.9 miles steady, 7.9 miles tempo, 2.9 miles steady

Ran up to training for the advertised 10-mile session, meeting Ben en route. After hanging about in Garscube Estate while all the other packs went out, we set off with Joe who also wanted to run the longer distance, at a fairly easy pace to begin with. The route took us down Maryhill Road to St George's Cross and back along Great Western Road to Byres Road. On Highburgh Road, as the pace started to increase, my left hip started to feel a bit tight although I reckoned I could run it off. I fell off the pace after the railway bridge on Clarence Drive, by which time it was apparent that the route was again going to be a couple of miles short, as the remainder took us up Crow Road and through Garscube Estate. Ran back down the road with Ben and Joe afterwards at a faster pace than I would normally have felt capable of.
