The training info and stats that are pulled from them are amazing and interesting if you're into that and sometimes take some remembering where you saw them but that's why you can add them to favourites. There's lots of threads to join in with or lurk on and on the whole we're a helpful friendly bunch.

Sarbear Dec 2024 11:19am, 28 Dec 2024 43 posts	0 Sarbear I shaved another second off my mile at parkrun today. Interestingly it was a big 5km PB (nearly a minute), but due to much more consistent pacing rather than any one section being super fast.

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.
