Rosehip May 2023 8:34am, 31 May 2023 29,048 posts	0 Rosehip I've remembered that I actually have a fetch mile on a straight bit near me so I can run without worrying about watch as fetch will tell me! The fetch mile is great for knowing the distance, but the time you get isn’t very accurate- mine was 20 seconds quicker for my fetch mile than the benchmark time for a mile within the run yesterday Haven’t tried a mile or done anything ‘quick’ to take a benchmark from this month. Think I need to ignore this until August

Flatlander May 2023 7:52pm, 31 May 2023 2,793 posts	0 Flatlander I left it a bit late to run this, only managed it this afternoon. For once, it was a single TT mile rather than a benchmark from a training run.

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.
