Recommend me some new Brake Pads for my Trek 1.5. They have worn out really quick

How long have they lasted? I've had 1200 miles from a set of genuine Shimano pads, admittedly in mostly dry conditions and they're hardly worn at all.
Well yeah commuting alone i go down a 1 mile 10% hill with an island half way down so slowing down from 30mph to 10mph there. I would guess I have done at least 1k miles on them so far.
Ah, yes, Mucklow Hill? I like going down that hill... rather more so than going back up it, anyway!
I've got Koolstop Salmon pads on both the Galaxy and Yukon. They're good, even in the wet, kind to rims but actually long-lasting: the ones on the Galaxy have lasted over two thousand miles so far despite me being heavy on the brakes while I've done over 1100 miles on the Yukon so far on one set of pads. If you need them urgently, I've got a spare set I could bring tomorrow morning?
