Well done to GimmeMedals. I like the animal standards too, I need a third qualifying time yet this year and would currently be a Wahoo on 2 entries (what on earth is that?).

Plenty of days yet for to get a mile in this month though maybe not for those marathon tapering like myself or riggys99.

I’m also marathon tapering. Maybe I will use my final full mile in the marathon as an incentive to get a move on at the end :) :)

Probably better to do it at the end rather than the beginning.

Good luck with the marathons folks, I don't think I'd be rushing to do a fast mile this side of a marathon just in case I wasn't warmed up enough.

Where do you find what standard you are? I know I need another mile race to get my 3 but I’d like to see what to aim for later in the year 😜

Thank you GimmeMedals.
So I’m nearly a bonefish 😂. Will aim for my Bronze standard for my mile then I think 🤔

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.
