2x2.5 miles steady, 6.4 miles hard

Ran to work in 17:32, average pace 7:08/mile, and back home in 17:13, average pace 7:00/mile. The club training session was a 6.4-mile steady run down Cowal Road and Dorchester Avenue, up Bearsden Road and Drymen Road, and down Roman Road and Milngavie Road. Turnout for the fast pack was less than usual so the top packs were combined. The pace increased as we went round and John and I broke away at some point. We posted some decent splits starting at the climb up Switchback Road. I felt like I still had plenty in the tank by the time we got to Milngavie Road and managed to drop below 6-minute miles for the run-in. Wore the adiZero Tempo. 6.36 miles in 40:23, average pace 6:21/mile, HR 164.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:24 (156), 6:35 (160), 6:21 (159), 6:06 (167), 6:05 (168), 5:45 (169), 5:51 (175)
HR zones: 0.3%, 0.7%, 26.5%, 72.5%, 0%
