westmoors 23 Jan 8:43pm, 23 Jan 2024 8,154 posts	0 westmoors Although not ideal conditions, I attempted my mile today. Lungs and legs did not want to play but the head said to keep going. It felt really hard and I'm sure it was into the wind! 8:48.

About This Thread

Maintained by Fenland Flier

For encouragement and general chat about the virtual mile challenges.

It's not easy pacing a mile race whether it's virtual or real, be it on track, road, grass or trail. Go out too hard initially and struggle towards the end, go out too soft and regret your finish time.

Use this thread to record your jubilation or allow us to commiserate with you.
