4.7 miles moderate

Realising that my 10K shoes of choice, the adiZero Mana, were over 2 years old, I picked up a pair of Asics Hyperspeed 5 and tried them out in advance of a possible racing debut at the Helensburgh 10K with a loop of Garrioch Road, Winton Drive, Beaconsfield Road and Napiershall Street. 4.69 miles in 30:50, average pace 6:34/mile, HR 150. Just like the Hyperspeed 4, the shoes seemed OK with liberal application of an anti-blister stick, but I felt afterwards as if I might have been putting my recovery at risk with 9 consecutive days of running and some recent fast miles, so I took Sunday off.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:10 (136), 6:22 (148), 6:41 (156), 6:09 (159), 6:28 (157)
HR zones: 1.7%, 11.1%, 73.9%, 13.4%, 0%
Weekly total: 47 miles
