4.4 miles slow, 12.4 miles steady

Went out in the morning for an easy loop of Shakespeare Street, Winton Drive, Beaconsfield Road and North Woodside Road. 4.4 miles in 35:12, average pace 8:00/mile, HR 126.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:22 (116), 7:48 (122), 8:03 (132), 7:47 (130), 8:06 (132)
HR zones: 21.4%, 75.0%, 3.7%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon I ran down to Cowcaddens along the canal as far as Farm Bridge, then back the same way. Wore the Merrell Trail Glove. The headwind on the way out was strong enough in places to cause waves on the canal. After turning at the bridge I was able to pick up the pace quite easily and it occurred to me towards the end that it had been comparatively easy for a 12-mile run. 12.39 miles in 1:28:16, average pace 7:07/mile, HR 142. Ran a 0.42-mile warm-down around the long side of the block afterwards, after changing into the Nike Lunarglide 2, which felt like cushions.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:55 (130), 7:25 (134), 7:24 (133), 7:35 (137), 7:31 (138), 7:31 (139), 7:02 (143), 6:35 (150), 6:39 (149), 6:42 (151), 6:34 (154), 6:44 (153), 6:42 (157)
HR zones: 0.8%, 45.2%, 52.8%, 1.2%, 0%
Weekly total: 63 miles
