So, 9.00, best was March 8.48., Feb 9.16. Partially not feeling great, secondly not really done a long harder run since March, so actually not too bad. Slow start, bad middle. Quicker end, so another go in July will help.

Not too bad @Ocelot Spleens with little running for a couple of months. Something to work on for the next couple of months.

Mile done this morning, the rain helped take the temperature down. I used the same path as I did last year, it's pretty flat. Managed 8 mins dead. Happy with that. Well done everyone for your efforts this month.

Well done for getting your mile done @Lesley C and no doubt the rain helped.

The thread links are updated as I hadn't realised I was a couple of months behind adding them for next year.

Oh my goodness it's been very quiet in here I almost forgot about it.
@falcarius has done a virtual mile this month but hasn't told us about it yet.
How's everyone else doing? Is it too hot now the rain has stopped?
I still need to do my mile this month and maybe I'll do it later when I get up.

I am going to take a few months off and come back in October. I want to concentrate on my race plans.

Will be hanging around though and seeing how you are all getting on.

I did the club mile last week but I'm not using that for this. I want to do all my virtual miles on the same mile stretch to give proper comparisons. Will do mine on Tuesday now the club track sessions have finished.

I am thinking of having another go before the month is out. August too, September looks a tad full.

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.
