You can do it Tibs... I dare you to reach 2 miles by Easter.
Sorry, but it sounded like you were being sardonic about it, as if a mile is a weak goal. A minus seven-minute mile in a month is a lofty challenge for someone who doesn't do any distance running. I'm sure he can, but he's much better with speed than with endurance. Even when I was running several miles, several days a week, he was faster than me over short distances. I think the trick for him will be pacing. If he doesn't push like he's used to, he'll last longer. (That's what she said.) Thanks for the encouragement! I hope he goes faster and farther than he expected.
Ah... I too am more proficient in the fast, super short distance run. Damn sprinting genes!
But if I want to get to work and back home, I need to make it last. Also, it's not very good to arrive at work sweating like a pig, is it?
Anyway, this morning, I hopped on the bike and noticed something was strange with the first few turns of the pedals... back tire was flat
Start pumping!
Luckily, that was all it took - made the whole trip without losing pressure, it seems...
Minimum gear - 5
Didn't make it to 8th as often as normal...
