DoricQuine 4 Mar 11:27am, 4 Mar 2024 10,237 posts	0 DoricQuine My second SB at parkrun on Saturday, equalling my February mile time 😁
Velociraptor 4 Mar 12:24pm, 4 Mar 2024 68,007 posts	0 Velociraptor Reporting a DNF. Unwelcome sensory input from the back of my left thigh around 200m into the mile attempt. I reckon it's just a cramp and I'll be good for another go later in the month. Totally unexpected because I'm not prone to cramping.
Fenland Flier 4 Mar 12:56pm, 4 Mar 2024 11,335 posts	0 Fenland Flier Well done DoricQuine I wonder what you could do for a single mile. Oh dear Velociraptor I hope it's nothing serious and you manage a mile attempt sometime in the next 27 days.
Velociraptor 4 Mar 1:11pm, 4 Mar 2024 68,011 posts	0 Velociraptor Thanks, FF I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll have another go tomorrow before my blood donation if it's settled by then, and if not there's still plenty of month left.
Sweetie 4 Mar 2:39pm, 4 Mar 2024 19,691 posts	0 Sweetie Well done DQ. Unlucky Vrap but, as you say, plenty of month left yet. Garmin benchmarks reckon I did a 9:18 mile in a 5k race yesterday, which was a big jump, so I have logged that for now but hope to aim for nearer 9mins by the end of the month.
DoricQuine 4 Mar 6:36pm, 4 Mar 2024 10,239 posts	0 DoricQuine Fenland Flier I'll maybe try just a mile on its own once I get the Inverness 5k done. Now I'm run/walking again I want to try get another SB there 😉
Fenland Flier 4 Mar 7:33pm, 4 Mar 2024 11,337 posts	0 Fenland Flier Ooh, good luck next Sunday DoricQuine (I did some stalking) and then good luck with the virtual mile.
DoricQuine 4 Mar 7:39pm, 4 Mar 2024 10,240 posts	0 DoricQuine Thanks FF ........ and it's not really stalking when it's on my profile!
Derby Tup 4 Mar 7:40pm, 4 Mar 2024 64,773 posts	0 Derby Tup 32 mile run on Sat but then back to the Parkrun and miles for me. Can’t be long until our first club mile track race of 2024

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.
