Thank you so much
Yes it was a straighter course but the last one also had downs so the down counteracted the corners
I think a lot of today was mindset

Having had one of my lowest monthly mileages for a long time I thought today I could at least add a virtual mile!

Usual mile+ jog to the mile route I always use, then had a go.
Can you believe I took a walk after just 200m? In fact I lost count of the number of walk breaks.

Given all that, I'm not too unhappy with a time of 10:15. I just wish I could make my head understand that my body is fine if I keep running!!

LazyDaisy, well done for your virtual mile. The same time as January and 21 seconds slower than your SB so excellent run walking.

Well done, LazyDaisy. ๐Ÿ‘

I ran my June mile attempt yesterday. Doing it when I did wasn't the best choice because it was quite warm. I managed 8:53 so not the best time this year. I'll switch back to an early morning run for the July and August attempt and hopefully improve on that.

Well done to all those who have completed their June mile ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
I was going to run my virtual mile this week but I have a dodgy left leg/hip/lower leg. I am able to run slowly but Iโ€™m not going to chance going all out for my mile. See you all in July.

I will do mine tomorrow and take what comes. My running is no great shape at the moment.

Mile done this morning, bit disappointed as it was 3 seconds slower than May (which wasn't great either!) but it was quite blustery along the coast and, as my mother would say, it's a poor man who can't find a good excuse. :-)

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.
