6.6 miles tempo, 1.7 miles recovery

Felt well enough to turn up for a Thursday training session billed as 7-8 miles with a 5-mile tempo section. I wore my new adiZero Tempo to give myself a reasonable chance of not being dropped straight away. The route took us out the main gate and along Canniesburn Road and Drumchapel Road where the pace gradually increased. Although Ben and Joe disappeared into the fog along Duntreath Avenue, I managed to stay with the pack on Alderman Road and Anniesland Road, finally dropping off the pace part of the way along Southbrae Drive. The others stopped on Crow Road, possibly a few hundred metres short of the intended goal, and we jogged back to Garscube Estate via the top gate.
