Lizzie W Jan 2009 4:41pm, 30 Jan 2009 1,784 posts	Quote Pin Lizzie W Pick a time to aim for, people aiming for a similar time start together (eg all the sub 5:30s) while we cheer them on & take photos, then the next group goes when they've all finished. Then we eat cake
John66 Jan 2009 4:45pm, 30 Jan 2009 12,257 posts	Quote Pin John66 Lizzie - is this your first mile? I'm gettig a bit greedy cos I was convinced I'd be 9. at best and paced by BCRB at Tooting I did 8.30. Well chuffed. Paced by RFJ at Reading I did 8.10 so although I've been a lazy arse the last couple of weeks I really want 7. paced by whoever. The above three lines is factual without being at all interesting.

Lizzie W Jan 2009 4:54pm, 30 Jan 2009 1,785 posts	Quote Pin Lizzie W John - first/last mile I did was in April @9:32. Now predicted 8:12 from my 5K time (without vomming) so I think 8:10 is achievable & possibly less
Caterpillar Jan 2009 4:56pm, 30 Jan 2009 3,265 posts	Quote Pin Caterpillar Could we have an element of fun in this? Could we have a one mile wheelbarrow race where the pusher and the passenger swap over every 400m?
Caterpillar Jan 2009 4:57pm, 30 Jan 2009 3,266 posts	Quote Pin Caterpillar ... and an actual serious question. The track is 400m. A mile isn't exactly 4 laps. Are there markings for one mile? Does anyone know about this stuff?
MoscowFlyer Jan 2009 4:59pm, 30 Jan 2009 1,490 posts	Quote Pin MoscowFlyer Yep, markings on the track for the mile.
