8.44, in a tempo run, a bit of downhill I there so doesn't count. Nice run though.

It's your run @Ocelot Spleens so if you want to add that time then it's up to you. Well done though and good luck if you fancy another attempt this month.

I've just realised I've been a little derelict in my thread duties but I'm now caught up with virtual mile races added for next year.

Get yourself ahead with your race planning and get yourself entered into the virtual mile races.

I think I want to gave my official mile efforts on the same course so I can compare like with like, obviously I can't quite control the weather.

I try to do the same OS, we definitely can't control the weather which is another reason I use the same stretch of roads (I use 3 sides of a rectangle).

Did my attempt this afternoon. As I did my warm up I tried to think of excuses for a poor time. Was quite pleased to get 8:31. Not my quickest this year but certainly better than I was expecting.

That sounds a lot better than you expected @westmoors well done for not bailing on it.

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.
