It's two weeks today since my eye op and the second is Tuesday next week. I might have a little jog later in the week to log a time, but it'll be a token effort

Mine might end up as a brisk walk. Maybe a mile split from the Jorvik Way walk we did. Sunday night we were on tarmac and late for tea ;-)

I got so excited last night - there is an actual mile race in Gosport on the weekend we are visiting my parents.

I'm going to have a real go at the mile and then have a steady 5k after.

Thanks Fenland Flier

Sounds like a good plan Sombrero

May virtual mile done

Warm up with strides and drills and some dynamic stretching

Off road run on pit (very dry easy off road). 1/2 mile out 1/2 mile back (inc turning round).
Time 6:13 quickest this year. Quicker second half including turnaround than first half

Hopefully sub 6:10 in June

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.
