5.1 miles slow, 7.1 miles steady

Went out with Natasha before breakfast for the reverse of the route I ran yesterday morning, except cutting up Nansen Street to avoid a construction site. Finished the 5.12 miles in 43:21, average pace 8:28/mile, HR 123.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:34 (121), 8:17 (126), 8:27 (124), 8:36 (122), 8:25 (123), 8:48 (124)
HR zones: 16.7%, 83.3%, 0%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon, needing just 6 miles to reach 60 for the week, I ran up Maryhill Road and joined the canal at the fire station. Just after the 3-mile mark I thought I would follow a path around Possil Loch. I wasn't exactly sure where it was going but I could soon see Balmore Road in the distance. Shortly after I reached 3.5 miles the path was blocked by a fallen tree, so that seemed like a good opportunity to turn round and head back home. I was slowed down in places on the way back by a strong headwind. The distance came out at 7.08 miles, time 48:58 for a 6:55/mile average, HR 146.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:34 (133), 6:47 (148), 6:40 (145), 6:45 (149), 6:54 (149), 6:58 (151), 6:48 (146)
HR zones: 1.6%, 8.1%, 89.4%, 0.9%, 0%
Weekly total: 61 miles
