6.4 miles slow, 4.1 miles hard

Went on a run before lunch with Natasha. We headed along Great Western Road, intending to turn back at Dorchester Avenue, but this looked like being a bit short so we headed up Herschell Street. I tried to find a short-cut onto the canal, without success, so we ran up towards Lock 27 and then back along the canal. The path I had been looking for took us back to Strathcona Drive, and after reaching Crow Road we ran through the car park and back down Herschell Street. The detour had added a lot of distance for Natasha breaking in her Newtons and she eventually had to stop and lace her shoes tighter. 6.44 miles in 55:39, average pace 8:39/mile, HR 111.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:51 (103), 8:20 (110), 8:27 (114), 8:33 (116), 8:51 (113), 8:40 (110)
HR zones: 92.5%, 7.5%, 0%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon I ran down to Cowcaddens and along the canal to Shakespeare Street. Wore the Merrell Trail Glove. 4.05 miles in 24:38, average pace 6:05/mile, HR 153.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 6:43 (137), 6:07 (153), 5:41 (160), 5:48 (164), 5:41 (164)
HR zones: 2.0%, 13.1%, 47.6%, 37.3%, 0%
Weekly total: 31 miles
