5.4 miles slow, 16.6 miles steady

Ran along Great Western Road with Natasha in the morning, turning back on my own at Dorchester Avenue to follow the side roads and head home via Shakespeare Street and Grovepark Street. 5.37 miles in 44:47, average pace 8:20/mile, HR 123.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:42 (114), 8:26 (119), 8:29 (124), 8:13 (125), 7:57 (130), 8:06 (130)
HR zones: 31.7%, 68.3%, 0%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon I ran along the canal towards Clydebank this time, starting and finishing via Grovepark Street, wearing the Merrell Trail Gloves. Maintained a steady pace until the halfway point at Dumbarton Road, which I reached in 1:01:35, and with the prospect of finishing the entire run in 2 hours I was able to pick it up on the way back. Just as I reached Great Western Road it started to rain, and by the time I got to Maryhill it had become a torrential downpour. Ran the usual 0.42-mile warm-down round the block afterwards. 16.64 miles in 1:58:29, average pace 7:07/mile, HR 143.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:53 (128), 7:28 (134), 7:27 (135), 7:18 (137), 7:18 (138), 7:19 (138), 7:18 (140), 7:17 (141), 7:18 (141), 7:05 (144), 6:57 (148), 7:00 (149), 6:44 (151), 6:38 (152), 6:43 (154), 6:29 (154), 6:41 (151)
