6.4 miles tempo

Felt just about OK to take part in the club's tempo session in advance of the George Cummings relay, and I thought if I couldn't run then I probably wouldn't have been able to take part on Saturday either. Wore the Skechers GOrun. We headed out the top gate for a loop of the McAndrew course. The tempo section felt like hard work but when I saw the first complete mile split was a respectable 5:44 I backed off a bit. Couldn't hang about afterwards in case I was unable to get moving again, so jogged straight back to Garscube Estate. Max HR of 186 again looks too high. 6.40 miles in 45:11, average pace 7:04, HR 160.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:34 (138), 6:31 (151), 5:44 (178), 6:21 (179), 6:53 (175), 8:51 (152), 8:20 (145)
HR zones: 0.6%, 10.3%, 44.0%, 29.8%, 15.4%
