3.3 miles easy, 5.1 miles steady

Went out before breakfast for a slightly longer route as planned, via Shakespeare Street and North Woodside Road, giving the Newton Distance S a try for shorter, slower runs. Finished the 3.28 miles in 24:35, average pace 7:29/mile, HR 132.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:02 (129), 7:18 (132), 7:05 (134), 7:37 (138)
HR zones: 5.2%, 87.2%, 7.6%, 0%, 0%

My right ankle seemed quite stiff during the day, possibly not fully recovered from a bad sprain several months ago, but it responded well to some stretching. In the evening I ran the same route as last Monday, again in the Distance S. It came out a bit faster with no great effort, 34:52 for 5.09 miles, average pace 6:51/mile, HR 145.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:11 (133), 7:12 (139), 6:45 (148), 6:38 (151), 6:29 (154), 6:34 (159)
HR zones: 3.0%, 24.0%, 73.0%, 0%, 0%
