7.2 miles tempo

The club training session was a hilly tempo run down Cowal Road, Dorchester Avenue, all the way down Crow Road, back up Gardiner Street and over Cleveden Road. Weather was fairly terrible with rain and blustery wind but it wasn't too cold. The tempo section was supposed to start on Dumbarton Road but the fast pack had already picked it up before we reached the canal and was fragmented by Jordanhill Station. Ended up running with Matthew all the way to the finish of the tempo section on Maryhill Road, and we ran back to Garscube Estate at recovery pace. Unusually, we managed to pass all the other packs well before the end, probably because we didn't wait to start the tempo. HR stats are slightly unreliable as I had some incorrect readings on Dorchester Avenue.
