Morning.
I'm doing a 1 mile race on Monday and I've never raced that distance and don't really know what to expect. Whats it like? Do people just run as fast as they can? All my training and races are anything from 3 miles to 10 miles.
I know there are loads of threads on here about preparing for the army 1.5 mile test etc but what I'm after is what people do over a short distance. I think there was also another thread recently about people who have raced 1 mile but I can't find it.
My last 10k I did the first mile in 6:10 (and then suffered for the next 5 miles, but thats another story) so I know I should be able to do this resonably fast but I'm wondering whether I should just go for it and hope that I don't go too fast or whether I should start slow and get faster as I would in 5k and 10k races.
