Never raced a mile, I'm not sure it'd be much of a result if i did, Trin. I took the little girl, 10 years old, to a running track last week as she was preparing for a relay race at school and she timed me running 100 metres flat out (16 seconds), so then I timed her and was staggered that she did it in 19 seconds (just 3 seconds slower than me as she is half my height!). So I decided to race her and gave her the three second head-start to make it fair. suffice to say, she beat me to the line right in the last metre. her brother was standing filming us crossing the line and she's taken immense pleasure in reminding me of it since
well done on your effort though. Good time.
aye, you're definitely right there! I couldn't get my head round the mechanics of how a little kid could bomb it like thatThanks
But if anything... you should have had the head start. young kids have more power to weight ratio, that's why they can run like greyhounds!![]()
Thanks zanshinWell done Trinity. I don't think I could cycle a mile in 6:25 never mind run it:d
someone did 5.05 yesterday... stormed it!I once ran a 5:50 first mile on a 10 mile time trial that I completed in 64 minutes (yes i went out too eager), but never just timed myself over a single mile. I'd like to think I could get close to 5 minutes dead, maybe sub 5min? Now that would be cool.
Yep, I reckon... have you got a track near you? You could set up a 'Mile Challenge' for your club.Well my 5k race time today was done in 6'18" min miles. I guess a flat mile should be under 6mins.
We haven't really...but could try Gt Yarmouth I guess....it has been muttered by club members before.Yep, I reckon... have you got a track near you? You could set up a 'Mile Challenge' for your club.
Break it down into standards... it's quite fun, kinda![]()
