4.5 miles steady, 3 miles hard

Tried one of my usual routes from Bearsden Asda in the morning, over West Chapelton Avenue and Pendicle Road, through Westerton and round the Science Park. Felt pretty slow. My left hip was worse than my right shin but improved as I warmed up. Finished the 4.53 miles in 32:45, average pace 7:14/mile, HR 150.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:50 (139), 7:15 (150), 7:06 (151), 6:59 (155), 6:49 (162)
HR zones: 1.8%, 11.3%, 77.3%, 9.5%, 0%

I worked on a sore left calf a bit over lunchtime and felt OK to run again in the afternoon, this time my 3-mile canal route from Cowcaddens. Gave the Vomeros a break and wore the Distance S. Completed the 2.98 miles in 18:46, average pace 6:18/mile, HR 160. No injury problems to speak of during the run, although my shin was slightly sore afterwards.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:04 (148), 6:04 (164), 5:46 (171)
HR zones: 1.7%, 5.4%, 20.1%, 72.8%, 0%
