2.7 miles moderate, hill reps

Ran home from work in 17:45 for 2.67 miles, average pace 6:39/mile, HR 144.

Pace splits (ave. HR): 6:57 (135), 6:36 (149), 6:17 (152)
HR zones: 3.7%, 24.6%, 71.7%, 0%, 0%

In the evening I went along to the first training session for the club's performance group, which was to consist of sets of hill reps on Cleveden Road and Dawsholm Road. There was a decent turnout: Ben, David, Alastair, Alan and Catriona. We ran an extended warm-up around Garscube Estate, down Switchback Road and along Temple Road, then 5 reps of Cleveden Road, before jogging over to the bottom of Dawsholm Road for 5 longer but less steep reps. The original plan had called for another set of reps on Cleveden Road but time was getting away from us, so we headed back through Dawsholm Park in the dark and ran four sets of strides downhill beside the Vet School. Total distance was 7.68 miles, max HR 176.
