Ocelot Spleens 1 Feb 7:43pm, 1 Feb 2024 38,610 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens I have thrown my hat into the ring, meant to for ages. My run had a quicker bit at the end, a tad uphill. 10 minutes. I reckon I can knock a bit off of that, we'll see how the month and year goes...
Fenland Flier 1 Feb 7:45pm, 1 Feb 2024 11,118 posts	0 Fenland Flier Well done OS, it's great to have something to aim for.
Ocelot Spleens 1 Feb 8:08pm, 1 Feb 2024 38,611 posts	0 Ocelot Spleens It was OK. I reckon 9.30 is probably on at the moment, not made an effort if that length in ages, so that's why I have joined in, purely to make me have a go!

tipsku 1 Feb 8:24pm, 1 Feb 2024 3,886 posts	0 tipsku I didn't manage a separate mile nor 5k effort on January due to illness so I just counted the benchmarks from the 10k at the end of the month. Pretty slow by my standards as it was more like LT pace, so the only way is up. I hope I can attempt a mile on the track next week. I'm getting my mojo back.

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.
