7.5 miles slow, 10 miles steady

Went out in the morning for a longer run with Natasha, heading towards Victoria Park. All along Great Western Road there were quite a few people waiting for something. It turned out to be the Yorkhill Motorbike Run, so we took a detour down Fifth Avenue to escape the exhaust fumes for a while, then dodged between the bikes to cross Crow Road. After a loop of the pond we headed down to South Street and back along the cyclepath, then home via Derby Street, Park Road and Napiershall Street. 7.53 miles in 1:02:03, average pace 8:15/mile, HR 122.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:19 (120), 8:13 (121), 7:54 (124), 8:27 (119), 8:10 (121), 8:23 (122), 8:19 (124), 8:12 (123)
HR zones: 30.9%, 68.5%, 0.6%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon I ran straight up onto the canal from Garscube Road and along the towpath to Farm Bridge, then back home again. Wore the Trail Glove. 10.01 miles in 1:08:35, average pace 6:51/mile, HR 143. Ran 0.42 miles around the longer side of the block to warm down.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:41 (129), 7:02 (135), 7:04 (136), 6:57 (139), 6:54 (140), 6:48 (146), 6:33 (150), 6:35 (150), 6:34 (153), 6:23 (153)
