Short recovery and 11.5 miles moderate

Went out in the morning with Natasha for two slow miles. My legs were quite stiff in the same places as after my previous hill reps in Kelvingrove Park, so maybe Saturday's session did have an effect. In the afternoon I ran the same Milngavie route as four weeks ago, a little faster this time, although maybe too fast over the first mile as it started getting quite tough about a mile afterwards. I pressed on and reached the halfway point in around 42:30 so sub-1:25 was on the cards, as the route back in is broadly downhill. Managed to pick up the pace after 8 miles and really pushed it on the last 800m to be sure of finishing inside 1:24 - actual time 1:23:46.
