Do a mile whether a single mile or part of a longer outing. If part of a longer outing take your benchmark time from the bottom of your training entry. Enter the time in the race listing, job done. Good luck.

Once again I didn't choose the best day for my mile. The Met Office said 26 mph winds with gusts of 39 mph and the direction meant it was a headwind for my mile course! A disappointing 8:54.

That's tough, Westmoors! Though not a bad time. Might you have another attempt in you for later in the month or will you leave it till March?

I tried to run a fast mile on the track yesterday. It was a bit breezy and warm. I ran in a t-shirt. I was hoping for sub 7 and I got it, 6:54. But it was hard! I still have a long way to go until I get back to where I was in December (6:36). The tree pollen don't make it easier.

Well done tipsku a great effort. I'm way short of where I want to be. Coming off the asthma inhaler has had a huge effect on my speed work or it could be that I don't do enough training or try hard enough.
