2.5 miles steady, 2.5 miles moderate, 6.6 miles tempo

Ran to work in 17:49, average pace 7:15/mile, and back home in 16:36, average pace 6:45/mile. Wore the Brooks Green Silence. The club training session was a 6.6-mile loop of the West End with a tempo section from the top of Queen Margaret Drive, along Great Western Road and Hyndland Road, down Clarence Drive and along Crow Road to Anniesland Cross. I felt in reasonable shape to have a proper go at it and managed to break away from the pack as we approached Clarence Drive. I was second to arrive at Anniesland Cross behind Ben.
