6.8 miles easy

Decided I'd better brave the conditions and get a few miles in, so I ran up Baird's Brae and along the canal, wearing my trail shoes. It was OK underfoot if I stayed at the side of the towpath. The most dangerous bits were just before and after every bridge. The aqueduct was also very slippy and I fell a couple of times. Came off the canal and headed down Dorchester Avenue, back along Great Western Road, up Queen Margaret Drive and down Garscube Road to Grovepark Street. I was able to run on the road for the most part. Finished the 6.75 miles in 51:09, average pace 7:35/mile, HR 152.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:27 (142), 7:32 (153), 7:59 (149), 7:37 (150), 6:58 (157), 7:19 (158), 7:05 (156)
HR zones: 1.1%, 3.3%, 85.7%, 9.8%, 0%
