5.5 miles slow, 5 miles hard

Missed the club session on Thursday due to appalling weather conditions. On Saturday morning I ran down to Kelvinbridge with Natasha to meet Meggan, and we ran back up North Woodside Road, Grovepark Street and Baird's Brae onto the canal and headed towards Port Dundas. After a loop of the business park we ran under the M8, over the footbridge on Garscube Road, up the path behind Abercorn School, back onto Garscube Road and down Grovepark Street to Kelvinbridge. 5.46 miles in 48:22, average pace 8:51/mile, HR 128.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:12 (128), 9:07 (130), 8:56 (131), 9:11 (126), 9:06 (124), 8:15 (128)
HR zones: 5.8%, 93.7%, 0.6%, 0%, 0%


In the afternoon I ran down to Cowcaddens and followed the canal as far as Lochburn Road, managing some decent splits after the first mile although I felt very slow in places. Finished the run via Grovepark Street to try to get it closer to 5 miles. 4.97 miles in 31:36, average pace 6:21/mile, HR 164.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:05 (141), 6:22 (164), 6:07 (171), 6:13 (172), 5:59 (174)
HR zones: 1.9%, 7.2%, 22.5%, 68.1%, 0.3%
