In the morning I ran down Garscube Road and up onto the canal as far as the fire station, again wearing the Nimbus to hold me back a bit. On getting back home I dug out my Achilles Heel vouchers and headed down to pick up my Newton Distance S which had just arrived. This took the total distance up to 4.61 miles in 32:09 for a 6:59/mile average, HR 144.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:37 (138), 6:52 (149), 6:31 (151), 7:05 (135), 6:44 (148)
HR zones: 4.8%, 17.9%, 77.3%, 0%, 0%
Before dinner I tried out the new shoes on my Maryhill Road - Dorchester Avenue - Great Western Road route. They were a half-size larger than I would usually wear (it was either that or wait until June) and certainly felt lighter than the Motus but didn't seem to be forcing me onto the forefoot quite as much, or my stride may have been affected by the running tights I was wearing. In any case I was a few seconds outside route PB schedule on reaching Dorchester Avenue, and I wasn't particularly expecting to set a new record as this run was going to take me over 50 miles for the week, but after some quicker miles in the second half I finished in 31:38, which knocked 17 seconds off my previous best from April. Despite the rush-hour traffic I only had to stop my watch once, crossing Maryhill Road in the last half-mile. Distance was 5.16 miles, average pace 6:08/mile, HR 158.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 6:26 (143), 6:08 (157), 6:09 (160), 6:03 (165), 5:53 (168), 6:00 (167)
HR zones: 1.3%, 3.0%, 40.9%, 54.8%, 0%
