Well done twinnies and Joe. You are both making great progress.

was really disapointed this morning. Went out to do this a year after i done the mile in 7:20 .
Ended up going out to fast and when i got to 0.6 mile I had to slow up because my head was pounding so much i thought i was going to explode. 0.6 was at av pace of 6:30 tho so do you think on another day i could beat my old time. also has anyone ever experienced there head pounding like that while running. ?

Exertion headaches are not uncommon.

Exercise headaches - MayoClinic.com

This explains about them. Do you have a cold or any sinus problems at the minute?

If you held 6.30 for 0.60 then you should be able to beat 7.20 no problem.

6:28 but I think I could go faster but feel guilty for only running a mile

As of today my 1 mile pb is 8.61

Silly one
Why that face!!??
It's great that you have a (training, not racing) PB that you feel is slow for you. Plenty of room to improve and motivation to do it
By the way... 8.61????
Reminds me of the time when my PB in the Marathon was 3h03m and when asked I would say it was 2h63m

That's well done Lisa.. I think

Been thinking about cracking a 5min mile for a while now , went for it on tuesday night got 5.31, however it was my 12th mile of the day, still think knocking 31secs off will be tough though, will try to have a go fresh next week sometime.

Went for it for the first time tonight,no running this week till tonight and only enough time for two mile so thought i would have a go, managed 6.15 all out it nearly bloody killed me!!! short sprints and slow jog the second mile and i feel completely shattered 4 hours after it,i wont be doing that for a while!!!!

Does a downhill mile count?!!! If so, I clocked 4.03 between miles 7 and 8 last week at the May Hill Massacre, but there was an ever so slight incline ; )

Nah, 'fraid not! Try again.

Must try this again sometime, my last effort was when I started running last year and it was a 6:52.

I ran a 5:47 mile last night. Not sure when I will be running a mile that fast again. I think I will stick to 5 and 10K.

Great time, Vortex-Lee
