    I also seem to remember the last lad broke the table down into individual age categories for easier reading & to see what the competition was like within that age category. It’s just a suggestion, no problem if it isn’t taken on board.

    Ssssh...some of us are happy to be hidden away there and don't need to see any 'competition' :pac:

    Ignored :D


    We trust people to know what age category they are in. Doing it any other way would be an insult to their intelligence. :pac:


    Speaking of which....if anyone has their name on this table they should also join the Strava club linked in the OP. Likewise if somebody has joined the Strava club they should also drop a note here to be included in the table or post in the club a reference to their username here. At the moment the lists are quite a way off matching each other. :(

    Now if roles were reversed and you asked me to do such a thing I’d be working on it right now, but there ya go. Think someone is your friend......

    Maybe he'll sort out the table manually for maximum compatibility. I think the last fella did that too. ;)

    A distributed beer mile sounds like a worthwhile event to put on too!

    Hopefully I will make the starting line of this one.

    F48 going for Sub 8 - I'll either be delighted or get a kick up the ar*e but nothing to lose by trying :D:D

    I'll sign up to this, give me some extra training motivation.

    Haven't raced or ran any time trials in the last 6 months so not sure what level I'm at. I did 10 x 400m yesterday averaging 76.5 with 90 seconds rest, judging by that the sub 5 might be beyond me at this stage but I'll aim for 4:59 anyway, M32.

    Haven't done a bit of speedwork since the club suspended training the second week of march so I'm in for this. I did a practice mile last week to remind myself how much it hurts and finished in 5:52, so I might as well be a bit optimistic as to how much improvement you can make with 3 weeks training!

    Put me down for 5:30 please, M31.

    Would love to sign up. 30 year old male. In terms of predicted times I don't really know what I should be aiming for having never done a 1 Mile run/TT before. 5k recent PB is 26:11. So I reckon stick me down for 07:29 for the Mile and see how I get on.

    If someone wants to correct my prediction please let me know, as I say I'm practically guessing.

    I'll join the Strava group and comment my username now too.

    I'd no real clue either, went with what my 5k pb suggests, but even that's a guess given I haven't raced this year.

    I did some 400 reps the other day and it made things a little clearer. Not crystal clear but clearer. I'd recommend that.

    If a 3 x 1 mile session is a good predictor/assessment of target 5k time. What's the equivalent session for a 1 mile tt ??

    600m/500m/400m/300m/200m @ goal race pace off 60 secs recovery I have used as a peak workout for the mile in the past. If you can't hit your goal pace off 60 secs rest you need to adjust it. So for a 4.48 mile you would hit 1.48, 1.30, 72, 54, 36.

    People also use 10x400m @goal pace off 60 secs as a predicter.

    Watch you being ran off boards this time next week after every feels the pain of this session. Nothing quite like that metallic taste of blood in your mouth after you cough up a lung at the end of this session of a Cold January night getting ready for indoors :P

    Was going to suggest the 10x400. I've used it myself before but still fell short of my target race pace. With it not being a race it might be even trickier to predict. My experience anyway was the 10 x 400s but maybe add around a second per 400 on the day. So being able to do 75s for a 5 minute flat mile would become 76s and a 5:04 mile. Just my experience.

    The 600 down to 200 sounds tougher to me due to the front loading. I'm going to try that one out anyway. Cheers.

    Yep apposite for me, the 400s sound way harder. Might give it a bash later in the year :cool:

    Can somebody suggest a couple of sessions to do between now and TT day for somebody who has been doing mainly easy mileage for the last while? Obviously no time for a full-blown mile training plan but just something to get a bit of speed into the legs without going overboard.
