I took my benchmark from my 5k this morning which has given me a season’s best.

Think next month I want to go out and just do a mile and see the difference.


That's excellent to read Lip Gloss and good luck with your single mile attempt.

Bah. Didn't feel great on track, no major reason. It was a bit wet and windy but not enough to make a big difference.

June 7.27
July 7.17

Never mind. Soon be August and we go again!

Well done Sombrero, it's an improvement which is always good to read, however you felt or despite the weather.

Fenland Flier my best 5K this month (24.24) gives me a predicted 6.47 so not sure why today didn't go to plan but like you say it's an improvement :-)

Well done Sombrero an improvement is a improvement. Sometimes when you are pushing it bad weather can make more of a difference than when you are on a easy run.

Great news Lip Gloss 😁🤙

I have Shondo to thank for my run today. I’m really struggling and she met me at 7.30am and said we were not allowed to walk . Near threw up at the end but I did it.

Sounds like you need Shondo with you more often Lip Gloss.

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.
