I'm not wearing spikes unless there are going to be some muddy hills. Not comfortable. Anyway - apart from that, can anyone tell me how to run a mile? I don't know how. I'm not being silly. Well, not really.
If I run 100m I just wait for the gun then go like a scalded cat, flat out, fast as poss.
If I'm running 5k I wait for the gun, then tie my shoe laces, finish the last slurp of coffee, strip off the sweatshirt and set off nice and gently. After ten minutes or so I try to speed up from a jog to a trot and see how it goes.
Neither of these is going to work for one mile. If I try the scalded cat technique you'll have to resuscitate me at the end of the first lap and I'll have to drop out. If I run it like a 5k everyone else will have finished before I've finished my coffee.

B*gger - combo of wife knicking car and the dreaded words "replacement bus service" means I may have to give this a miss

LOL! I think I'll keep going, if the ambulance doesn't mind doing three more laps before taking me off to St Peters.

Hey John! You can't give it a miss. I don't mind giving you and a few other people lifts. You're up the A3 somewhere near that nice brewery aren't you? Who else wanted a lift? Can we go via Richmond and pick up other Fetch Milers?
OK - here's an offer. Caterpillar collects John66 at 1.30pm and drives via Richmond and/or Twickers to Stompond Lane. Who wants a lift?

Bus replacement service may well be fine but the very words strike fear into my heart!!

Tell the National Journey Planner you want to go from Richmond to Walton via Staines and it will come up with trains all the way.
