Ran to work in 18:48, average pace 7:39/mile, and back home in 17:25, average pace 7:05/mile. Nearly went over on the ice a couple of times and almost decided against turning up for the club's out and back session, from which the rest of the fast pack was conspicuously absent. We set off from the church on Bearsden Road and ran up Great Western Road for 25 minutes before turning around. I wasn't going to push it and ran with Gary at a comfortable pace although the footing was treacherous, not least because the Lunarglide Shield don't have much grip. I considered throwing in the towel at Blairdardie but ran on the road for a while. This worked a lot better but was too dangerous to persevere with for long. On the way back down the pace increased too much for my liking so I dropped off and coasted back in, but I noticed I didn't feel like I'd be able to pick it back up at all, and on the warm-down I could hardly move. Suspected I had blown up due to a combination of high mileage, a long run in difficult conditions and heavy shoes. 7.21 miles in 49:16, average pace 6:50/mile, HR 160.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 6:46 (159), 6:49 (156), 6:57 (161), 6:57 (162), 6:05 (165), 6:57 (163), 7:07 (155), 7:53 (154)
HR zones: 0%, 0%, 55.6%, 44.4%, 0%
Warm-up was 1.20 miles, warm-down 1.21 miles.
