6 miles slow, 10.2 miles steady

Ran down North Woodside Road with Natasha to meet Meggan at the Botanic Gardens, then onto the Kelvin Walkway which we followed as far as the hill before Dalsholm Road, then back down the walkway to Kelvinbridge and home. Wore a new pair of Skechers Resistance Runners. 5.96 miles in 55:16, average pace 9:16/mile, HR 114.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:10 (124), 10:01 (112), 9:24 (114), 9:11 (116), 9:17 (112), 9:36 (110)
HR zones: 84.0%, 16.0%, 0%, 0%, 0%

In the afternoon I parked at Milngavie Station and ran through the town centre and up the West Highland Way for just over 5 miles, turning round just before Dumgoyach. My average pace dropped significantly as I climbed the hills on the way back but I made up for it in the last few miles. Wore the Merrell Trail Glove which were great for going uphill and when the trail was fairly smooth, but more painful on rockier ground. 10.18 miles in 1:12:26, average pace 7:07/mile, HR 145.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:42 (146), 7:20 (149), 7:22 (144), 7:17 (138), 7:11 (141), 7:48 (149), 6:47 (147), 7:07 (144), 6:23 (147), 6:23 (150), 6:10 (151)
HR zones: 1.1%, 12.7%, 84.1%, 2.1%, 0%
Weekly total: 65 miles
