57.5 Degrees of Pain Jun 2023 12:30pm, 26 Jun 2023 13,154 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain I appear to have drawn the short straw of a match against runaway leader RunRuss. He only beat me by 120 last time out!
SooWoo Jun 2023 12:55pm, 26 Jun 2023 1,122 posts	0 SooWoo Fizz - it has to be an outing that hits at least 25 squares - so already some of the shorter runs are eliminated, and all the out and backs are at a distinct disadvantage. Amazing 2.03 miler from SooWoo - just shows what can be done! I don't think I've seen 2.03 bettered. fetcheveryone think I might be able to get it under 2.03…. Was bit safe in the loop in these squares!!

bobbob Jun 2023 1:42pm, 26 Jun 2023 61 posts	0 bobbob I think we need an all-time table! I think I got v close to 8sqs/km over about 5k a couple of weeks ago (but hard to check now because my grid's in a different position at the moment!)
bobbob Jun 2023 1:44pm, 26 Jun 2023 62 posts	0 bobbob Of course lowest distance for 25 squares will require a different approach to simply maximising density over a longer route. I guess there's a geometry puzzle involved for anyone with access to a large area with the right to roam and the ability to walk in straight lines! Heading to Scotland later in the summer, but sadly family obligations will probably prevent a serious attempt there.

SooWoo Jun 2023 9:04pm, 29 Jun 2023 1,126 posts	0 SooWoo HiNight-owl! Hope you’re OK, I did wonder if something was up as your training did seem to tail off! I’ve got the 200 square badge but not Gridmaster badge… it’s a bit tricky where I live, even if I did a grid move mid-week😀
