6.2 miles tempo

The fast pack was sent out a bit earlier than usual but their route to Canniesburn Toll was via the top gate, so I headed up Maryhill Road to join up with them there. This part was 0.9 miles in 6:40, average pace 7:25/mile, HR 136. HR zones: 7.8%, 54.0%, 38.2%, 0%, 0%. I got there first and walked back up Switchback Road. The rest of the route took us up Drymen Road to Stockiemuir Avenue. Unlike the others, I had a blank weekend coming up, so when I suddenly felt quite fit on Mosshead Road I decided to make the most of the session and started to pick up the pace, gradually at first. On Boclair Road I could see other packs in the distance and set off in pursuit down Rannoch Drive although I didn't quite manage to catch everybody by the time we got back to the gates. Finished the remaining 5.32 miles in 34:43, average pace 6:32/mile, HR 161. Wore the LunarGlide 2.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:22 (143), 6:46 (158), 6:30 (157), 6:23 (172), 5:44 (178), 6:07 (177)
HR zones: 0.7%, 3.7%, 43.4%, 48.2%, 4.0%
