Thought I was pushing hard but it was hard to tell, until on the last rep a kid started running beside me. I cranked the pace up a notch to drop him - which worked, eventually - but it was enough to properly send me into the red zone. Ow.

1x3mile (5:30,33,34)
1x2mile (5:18,21)
1x1mile (4:39) (race)
Couldn't quite hit the pace in the first effort, it's been a while since I did proper training and I was feeling a bit rusty. Got into it a bit on the 2mile which felt pretty comfortable.
Set off a bit harder in the race than a month ago (when I did 4xmile followed by 1mile race) which hurt for the first 300m or so but then I was able to relax and reel in some of the fast starters. Was up to third and closing on second by the turn at 1km when the leader ran straight on. It took me a second or so to realise then i bellowed "LEFT". Second place checked his stride and the leader cut the corner but came out just ahead of me. I felt pretty good still and moved past him and started kicking for home. I tied up a bit on the home straight but held on to win by 3s.
I could feel pretty bad for winning in the circumstances, but the course is clearly marked in chalk arrows and it's the same loop every week of the summer, and has been for as many years as I've been in Edinburgh, so it's a pretty good effort to manage to get lost!
