Forgot about this AGAIN I did a faster mile on Tuesday but it included a hill and a stop to cross a roundabout. Came in at 9:21. So today I did it again. I managed 8:36 which is 2sec slower than last month but I’ll take that as I wasn’t feeling it today at all a week travelling for work has took its toll.

Well done everyone on your miles. I’ll try to be more organised next month!

I’m sure it will FF and the link to the race so I remember to fill it in. Thanks for the motivation I am going to attempt to do one every week and log the fastest.

Weekly!! That's dedication GG. You should get used to pacing a mile well with all that experience.

I've done the same as a few of you and taken a benchmark mile time from a parkrun this month.
Personally I prefer to do a separate mile but needs must this month.

So who's going for their virtual mile on day one? Maybe a parkrun effort? Maybe a dedicated mile?

I don’t think I will take today’s parkrun as it’s a very slow uphill to start but you then get a speedy downhill so wouldn’t feel it’s a true reflection of my mile.

I may try again today but it has got to stop raining first - yesterday's attempt was so horrendous in stair-rod rain!

* note to self- don't leave it til the last day of the month this time ;-)

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.
