Alabama Apr 2011 6:56pm, 30 Apr 2011 9 posts	0 Alabama I'd love to take part in a mile challenge. They're hard to come by! Will there definitely be one in June?
PaulaMc Apr 2011 8:05pm, 30 Apr 2011 1,308 posts	0 PaulaMc Yes, I'm sure there will be one in June, Alabama. Our Miles are great fun - different groups at different paces, then we do 400m relays, and sometimes 100m sprints as well. And we have cake, too. And then go to the pub. Just like proper athletes

Enthusiastic! May 2011 5:02pm, 1 May 2011 7,102 posts	0 Enthusiastic! PaulaMc forgot to mention the bit where we scrape our lungs off the track... It's after that we eat cake and go to the pub...
Magpie Rob May 2011 5:18pm, 1 May 2011 2,095 posts	0 Magpie Rob Yeah but that bit only lasts a few minutes and the beer helps with the pain and helps you forget... til the next time!
PaulaMc May 2011 6:07pm, 1 May 2011 1,310 posts	0 PaulaMc After the lung-scraping we DESERVE cake and beer! I actually hate the running bit, it's really hard work. Especially if you ask someone to pace you. And worse if you don't, and try to pace it yourself. A mile is a nasty distance, let's be honest ...
MissChappo May 2011 6:12pm, 1 May 2011 8,891 posts	0 MissChappo Yep, I hate the running bit too. I get about 5 seconds slower each time I do one, mainly I think because my willingness to tolerate the pain gets slightly less every time.
Magpie Rob May 2011 6:15pm, 1 May 2011 2,096 posts	0 Magpie Rob TBH 5k and 10k are nasty distances too...
PaulaMc May 2011 6:18pm, 1 May 2011 1,311 posts	0 PaulaMc True. And marathons can be horrid. I've never done an ultra and my brain can't think that hard, so .... Should we stick to 10 miles and half maras, do you think ...?
Enthusiastic! May 2011 6:31pm, 1 May 2011 7,103 posts	0 Enthusiastic! I think we should just stick to cake, beer and liposuction...
