8.9 miles tempo

The club session was a run of about 9 miles, down the Kelvin Walkway as far as Kelvindale Road, back up the path on the other side of the Kelvin to the cobbles on the canal after the viaduct, along the towpath to lock 36 and back to Garscube Estate via Anniesland Cross. Wore the adiZero Tempo although I planned to take it fairly steady so as not to risk injury as the left hip was still dubious. Ben and Mark disappeared off into the distance for the tempo section. I stayed with a pack consisting of Euan G, Gavyn and Joe, gradually speeding up until we eased off at Anniesland Cross. I had some chest cramp on Great Western Road but felt OK otherwise and my heart rate looked normal, so I put it down to running too soon (i.e. just an hour) after dinner. The route was slightly short of 9 miles so we ran on as far as the bridge instead of stopping at the bottom of the hill. 8.92 miles in 1:00:36, average pace 6:48/mile, HR 152.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:23 (134), 7:45 (140), 6:38 (147), 6:37 (152), 6:19 (157), 6:08 (164), 6:18 (165), 6:41 (161), 7:22 (150)
HR zones: 0.6%, 15.5%, 52.9%, 31.0%, 0%
