4.5 miles hard

Tackled the same route as a fortnight ago in the Newtons. The first couple of hundred metres were fairly painful but I settled into a pace which I estimated to be slightly slower than my previous attempt. I thought I was easing off a bit on the warm-up trail but that mile turned out to be my quickest. Despite losing a few seconds at the roadworks near Bearsden Asda I was 5 seconds faster overall. Distance again 4.54 miles, time 29:01 for a 6:23/mile average. Pace splits: 6:45, 6:25, 6:19, 6:08, 6:17.
