7.7 miles hard

Legs were still heavy but I turned up for the club out-and-back session expecting to drop off the pace if necessary. After a 1.37-mile warm-up down to the other side of Anniesland Cross, we headed along Great Western Road, down Lincoln Avenue and along Alderman Road for 25 minutes, eventually reaching the bus stop after the shops on Drumchapel Road. I could feel one of my toenails catching inside the Skechers GOrun. Euan G and Alex Chalmers were pushing the pace, and I began to fall behind as we reached Lincoln Avenue on the way back, but pulled it together to arrive around a minute early with Euan. 7.71 miles in 49:01, average pace 6:21/mile, HR 170. Warm-down was a 1.34-mile jog back to Garscube Estate.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 6:44 (141), 6:23 (163), 6:14 (168), 6:37 (170), 6:08 (171), 6:03 (179), 6:21 (180), 6:20 (180)
HR zones: 0.2%, 0.2%, 14.8%, 70.1%, 14.7%
