3.6 miles slow, 4 miles tempo

Went out in the morning with Natasha for a variation of our usual West End route, via Nansen Street to avoid the construction site, and then up Firhill Road and through Ruchill Park. This extended the route to 3.57 miles, finishing time 29:30 for an 8:16/mile average, HR 143. HR was unusually high in the first few hundred metres but settled down during the climb up to the park.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 9:14 (151), 7:56 (142), 7:46 (137), 8:03 (139)
HR zones: 0.6%, 50.5%, 34.5%, 14.4%, 0%

In the afternoon I set out to run one of my usual routes via Cowcaddens and the canal, but the towpath was closed after the fire station, so I continued down Queen Margaret Drive and back via North Woodside Road. This extended the route slightly, to 3.97 miles. Finished in 26:52, average pace 6:46/mile, HR 152.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:33 (138), 6:28 (157), 6:29 (156), 6:32 (158)
HR zones: 2.5%, 12.8%, 77.9%, 6.8%, 0%
