Well done EP, Westmoors and falcarius. Lots of great performances this month. I ran my first mile time trial since April, back then a PB of 6:34. Now, after a longer break due to illness, I tried fast running for the first time in over 2 months. My goal was 4:30 min/km or 7:15 m/m. I surprised myself with a sub 7 on first attempt, 6:58. I managed a pretty even pace throughout, no bad fading like in my first attempts. I'm getting better at judging the effort. Another positive result: I exceeded Stryd's power prediction for the mile by 10 W so I'm fitter than my device gives me credit for. It was a really useful benchmark for the training in the coming weeks. |

Great effort and great to know you're fitter than you and Stryd thought.

Well done Tipsku. I have a 10K Sunday that is my target race so I decided to still go to track and do my own thing instead of a long session. My first mile attempt in a while and rather pleased to get my time down from 7.02 last time to 6.52. |

Cheers, I actually took 12 seconds off as my time was 7.04 in March. Even more pleasing
