Well done, Mrs Jigs :)

I'll see how I feel Monday night after the beginners. If my legs are happy, I'll try on the track there. I may have more than one shot at it this month.

A 7.37 mile in my 5K race tonight, however the overall pace was my fastest 5K for 6 years.

Am trying to work out when to attack my August mile. :-)

I ran/walked today for the first time this month since the scare with my eye at the end of July, though the optician said I was ok to run.
Pleased with my benchmark mile time today considering I'd been to the gym in the morning.

Hopefully I'll see the same improvement as last month. ๐Ÿ˜Š

After a terrific 5k result Sombrero probably not this morning ;-)

Good to know you're out again DoricQuine and good luck with your next attempt.

Alice the Camel did a virtual 5k a month or so ago EvilPixie but I don't know if there is a monthly one or not, have you checked the race listing's?

Mile attempt done this morning. I'm in the middle of a hybrid/extended/masochistic Run the Sum at the moment so legs are pretty trashed and I figured I'd be slow - and I was right! :-O
Still rather pleased to have just squeezed under the 9min mark with 8:56

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.
