5.4 miles slow, 14.5 miles steady

Went out before breakfast for a run along Great Western Road as far as Dorchester Avenue, then back along the side roads as far as Kirklee Road, and home via Shakespeare Street and Grovepark Street. 5.36 miles in 42:40, average pace 7:58/mile, HR 124.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:17 (119), 7:50 (126), 7:57 (128), 7:56 (126), 7:48 (125), 7:59 (123)
HR zones: 13.5%, 86.5%, 0%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon I ran up the canal as far as Glasgow Bridge and back in the Merrell Trail Glove, starting and finishing via Grovepark Street. Had to stop at the barrier just before the Stables while two girls wheeled their bikes round, even though they had seen me approaching. On the way back, I passed the same girls wheeling their bikes up the path from Lochburn Road and sprinted past them to avoid having to wait for them at the barrier again. Ran the usual 0.42-mile warm-down afterwards. 14.46 miles in 1:39:11, average pace 6:51/mile, HR 142.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:38 (128), 7:00 (136), 6:53 (138), 6:52 (138), 6:47 (141), 6:49 (143), 6:48 (143), 6:53 (145), 6:50 (144), 6:49 (145), 6:43 (146), 6:40 (146), 6:39 (148), 6:42 (146), 6:52 (146)
