Had increasing symptoms of shin splints on my left leg since Thursday and would have been wary of running on Sunday at all, but the situation had improved by Monday morning after stretching my left calf and using an ice pack. Dug the Newton Distance S out of the cupboard and got the train to Balloch with Natasha to run back on the cyclepath as far as Clydebank, and then along the canal to Firhill Road. The shin was a slight nuisance all the way but was eventually eclipsed by other minior aches and pains. 20.77 miles in 3:04:35, average pace 8:53/mile, HR 127. Had some HR strap problems but they went away when I adjusted the strap during mile 5.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:27 (110), 8:25 (127), 8:43 (156), 8:55 (155), 8:25 (129), 9:09 (119), 8:47 (120), 8:54 (116), 8:49 (121), 8:43 (122), 8:55 (122), 8:51 (125), 8:56 (125), 8:51 (125), 8:50 (136), 8:51 (127), 8:54 (127), 9:16 (126), 9:24 (124), 9:24 (123), 9:15 (125)
HR zones: 24.4%, 63.6%, 8.1%, 4.0%, 0%
In the evening I had recovered enough to run the same Bearsden loop as a couple of Mondays ago. The shin was also better than it had been in the morning due to more stretching and icing. 2.52 miles in 19:26, average pace 7:43/mile, HR 128.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:14 (122), 7:34 (131), 7:00 (135)
HR zones: 17.2%, 80.1%, 2.7%, 0%, 0%
