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

I'll take consistency. PBs are long behind me.

Thanks @Fenland Flier

I’ve been AWOL for a while, last year getting slower bit faster (darn ultra running) and then had surgery to fix my bunion in January.

I’ve made a comeback the last 6-7 weeks and with the horse game went out to beat my benchmark mile (which had dropped to 10.33 after a shocked run last week) and which I managed to do with a 8:47!!!

I really enjoyed it and the process of trying to improve so I am going to attempt to remember to do a monthly virtual mile to keep me focused.

About This Thread

Maintained by Fenland Flier
For encouragement and general chat about the virtual mile challenges.

It's not easy pacing a mile race whether it's virtual or real, be it on track, road, grass or trail. Go out too hard initially and struggle towards the end, go out too soft and regret your finish time.

Use this thread to record your jubilation or allow us to commiserate with you.
