Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The 9:59 mile thread. How hard can it be?

Thanks Sharkie, your timing fits beautifully with me wondering idly about how I'm ever going to break 10/mm average again :-0
Of all sorts of complicated reasons - I'm in

Actually, I've found this You Tube clip, Alice. Alternatively, adjust your run/walk settings. You do remember how to do that, don't you? 😂😂😂

And when everyone has completed challenge number one, and after we've discussed it and made a few more jokes (there have to be jokes or I don't do it) we will move on to challenge number two.

Just found this thread and you've done it, Sharkie. You've been and gone and tempted me.
Won't be able to run until Friday though but if that's not too late, I'll have a bash.

My mile PB is 9.08 which was on a track at the Fetch Wedding Mile. I was lighter, younger and fitter then though. I also had BrianJ to pace me. I remember being completely gobsmacked (by the time, not by Brian's pacing! ;))

I can't set my garmin to do any of those fancy things of which GM and Alice speak so I will have to remember to look at it remember what the numbers say and then remember to look at it again in 2 and a half minutes and remember again what the numbers say.

How hard can that be ;-)
