    It’s terrible that the two organisers had to be prompted into doing something, couldn’t see the obvious the pair of them!!

    I can't help it if our TT is more popular than yours. Look at that table......... Impressive... What an excellent marketing team we have in place for this TT.

    With all his flip flopping it ended up being a team of 25 that decided how things would work. The organiser gave up organisational duties after about 3 days in favour of a free for all. :D

    Never raced a mile and been keen to for ages so I can't not give this a go, but I've done no speed training (not so much as a stride!) for about two months so I haven't a notion what to target. 6:45 maybe.
    Thanks to the organisers, never knew you were such tyrants though lads :D

    I'll give this a go if it's not too late to sign up.. I'm F40 and I'd be hopeful of 6:40. This is only my second ever 1 mile race with the first being used only as a warm up so I didn't really give it much!

    So after watching a few YouTube videos last night on how to train for a mile I set out today to do 8x 400s, 2x sets of 4 with a 3 min jog between. 90 secs recovery between reps.

    Goal was to get a feel for target pace, and to try keep control of it.

    Struggled with it until the last 2 reps, went out way too fast. Loved the session though.

    Reps were 88, 90, 90, 90, 89, 89, 88, 87.

    Will do similar next week with reduced recovery.

    Also tested out my route. It's a cracking route, I'm blessed with it.

    Pancake flat quiet country road, tarmac all the way. Road is exactly a mile long.

    Started off under the shade of a big tree, finished under another one, exactly at a STOP sign.

    If anyone is within 5km of Celbridge I'd definitely recommend it. Simmonstown Manor the road is called.

    How about a pyramid session of 200/400/600/800? 200 and 400s slighty quicker than goal pace and the 600/800s slightly slower?

    That would be a tougie.

    Recoveries would be what C? Do you double up on the 800's?

    May be a few of us that will discover a love for a new distance after this.

    Kinda like this mile stuff. :)

    Double up on the 800s; recoveries the same as the reps as you would be fairly moving during the reps. That would be my take on it; shorter speed pyramids are not something we typically do so open to suggestions on this. Will be winging it on the 30th with my extremely limited (1 outing) mile experience!

    One outing which you ran very well! Ah I'll give that one a lash. I'm just doing sessions in a very random way at the moment mixing paces and duration. It's hugely enjoyable if not race distance specific.

    Remember that quote on the 30th when you get that metallic taste of blood in your mouth with 250m to go and all you want is for the mile to be over.
