4.3 miles slow, 17.6 miles easy

Ran a loop on the North side with Natasha before lunch, up Possil Road and Keppochhill Road before turning onto Carlisle Street and heading back via Hawthorn Street and Bilsland Drive. 4.33 miles in 36:21, average pace 8:24/mile, HR 124.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:40 (123), 8:24 (124), 8:23 (123), 8:13 (123), 8:10 (129)
HR zones: 18.2%, 80.8%, 1.1%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon I ran up the canal to the centre of Kirkintilloch for a loop of the towpath and Luggiebank Road before heading back. Wore earphones to listen to a few podcasts which was OK, but I felt pretty slow, possibly because I'd already been out for a few miles in the morning, or because the blister was starting to play up, but I can't rule out the distraction of the earphones either. Wearing the Newton Distance S probably didn't help. Blister was much worse later on and I may have to miss a couple of days. Distance was 17.63 miles, time 2:08:53, average pace 7:19/mile, HR 142.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:41 (132), 7:20 (138), 7:16 (139), 7:16 (139), 7:13 (141), 7:17 (142), 7:10 (144), 7:08 (143), 7:24 (143), 7:16 (144), 7:21 (142), 7:32 (140), 7:16 (144), 7:14 (145), 7:20 (143), 7:22 (143), 7:23 (146), 6:53 (148)
