4 miles slow, 16.3 miles steady

Dug the Kalenji Eliofeet out of the cupboard and went out in the morning with Natasha for a loop of Garrioch Road and Queen Margaret Drive, finishing via Maryhill Road for a change. 3.97 miles in 32:32, average pace 8:12/mile, HR 137. Some early HR readings again too high.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:17 (137), 8:10 (143), 8:13 (135), 8:06 (131)
HR zones: 2.8%, 59.2%, 32.4%, 5.1%, 0.5%

In the afternoon I wore the Newton Distance S for what was probably the first time since the Ulm Marathon for a run up the canal and back, this time as far as the new bridge just before Kirkintilloch to add the couple of miles necessary to reach 50 miles for the week. Managed some consistent splits into a headwind on the way out, and picked it up for a few miles after turning round. 16.32 miles in 1:56:09, average pace 7:07/mile, HR 150. Again some dubious HR readings - battery in the chest strap might need to be replaced.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:33 (132), 7:15 (152), 7:11 (150), 7:10 (153), 7:10 (149), 7:10 (152), 7:11 (150), 7:00 (151), 6:59 (151), 7:06 (151), 6:50 (154), 7:02 (151), 7:06 (150), 7:02 (153), 7:08 (149), 7:14 (151), 6:19 (157)
HR zones: 0.6%, 6.0%, 89.1%, 4.0%, 0.4%
Weekly total: 50 miles
