Trying to work out where's good to do it, as I would want to do a warm up and cool down (on top of my anti-injury wander that I do before and after every run I do).

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.
