Festive Flier Dec 2024 9:33am, 11 Dec 2024 13,115 posts	0 Festive Flier Sounds like a great run in difficult circumstances @westmoors. If you had a better surface and daylight I'm sure you'd have yourself a new virtual PB.
Sweetie Dec 2024 7:36am, 12 Dec 2024 21,728 posts	0 Sweetie First attempt for December this morning, 8:22, which is my fastest this year by 2 seconds. I still want a bit more off that time so there will be more attempts before the month is out.

Sarbear Dec 2024 8:02am, 16 Dec 2024 26 posts	0 Sarbear Hi, I quite like the sound of running a mile as a time trial and have added January 25 to my portfolio. I've never run a mile for time before and have no idea how to pace it or what kind of warm up to do (I'll definitely need one of those!) Any advice gratefully received 😊
Festive Flier Dec 2024 10:01am, 16 Dec 2024 13,159 posts	0 Festive Flier Welcome aboard @Sarbear. I've generally done a mile or two before attempting the fast mile. Sometimes I stop my watch and restart it for the mile but mostly I just take it from the benchmark times at the bottom of the training entry I've done. How are you enjoying the experience of Fetcheveryone?
Sarbear Dec 2024 10:08am, 16 Dec 2024 27 posts	0 Sarbear Thanks @Fenland Flier I'm really enjoying the site although there's a lot to explore! It's taking me a while to discover everything. Some of it is also really addictive 😬 It's definitely inspiring me to get back into running though. I ran a lot in my 20s then for various reasons stopped. I'm remembering what I loved about 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.
