A Fast Mile #6

Sixth and final go at a fast mile.

It was all a bit of a disaster because the mile loop I have run every other fast mile on is too overgrown to really put a big effort in.

So I just ran down the road for a mile.

Without getting too technical I believe this mile might just be a bit more downhill. Strava says today’s route has 21ft elevation gain, compared with 27ft elevation gain on the old loop. So, a difference of 6ft:

Old mile loop
Today’s mile route

Today’s mile time: 6.33

So what have we discovered over the last month? Nothing really.

But I’m taking the final mile attempt as the quickest yet and calling it all a complete success.

  • Attempt 1 – 6.55
  • Attempt 2 – 6.48
  • Attempt 3 – 6.45
  • Attempt 4 – 6.44
  • Attempt 5 – 6.53
  • Attempt 6 – 6.33

Next month’s challenge: Juneathon is here again!!
