well i'm mad today. i was doing the same thing i did last week: run the last 5k hard of my long run (9.31 miles).....and while i was running, i tried to hit the middle button to hear my stats....and i accidently hit the menu button and paused the workout somehow. then i was trying to resume the workout, but accidently ended the workout.......
oh man......it says that i ran 3.6 Km in 13:51.....which is 3:50 min/km pace.....which is like 19:10 pace for 5k (i think).....i know it's just a challenge and isn't a big deal....but still....makes me mad....

That sucks guy. I had my nano eat about 10k in December for no good reason, I was a little miffed.
PS, that's a crazy quick pace.
Damn you mjcmjc.
Every time I think I'm getting close and going to bump you out of fourth you go for a run.

i guess that always helps....
i'm not sure who he is
So this challenge finishes today, I'm trying hard to hold onto that number 10 spot, I finished top 10 in December so that's my goal. 9th is too far ahead of me but there are two less that 1km behind me!
I'm trying hard to improve my 5km time for the other challenge too, at the moment I am 4th with 27'12" about a 4 minute lead over 5th.....I'd like to have a go at 3rd but "dukestreet" is on 23'12".... any advice on improving my speed?

Yeah bring it on! Only done 1 10k ever so would be a great new motivator!
Come on the 10k!
PS. Doesn't the current best 5km run until end of Feb?
There seems to be a delay in people getting the invites - has any one recieved the Invites ? i sent out over 40 +
Let me know if you have one
Let me know if you have one
So is this excusively for the hardcore long distance runners or is there a chance for us walkers, who powerwalk (I hate that expression) with the additional (short) jogging stretches...Good Luck all
(I actually used to be a very good 60/100m sprinter, but I think I'd die - literally - if I were to run a whole mile, especially with the poor form I'm in at the moment.
)If you let me in, do you need my username or login (email address)?
I've had and accepted:
Bestest Best Time 1 Mile
Bestest Best Time 5k
There were 15 mins between the emails so looks like the system is struggling under the Mac Rumor Challenge volume
Edit: Just got 10km one

10k is on it's way the normal rumble will be last
All 4 challenges received and accepted...
I look at it this way: You do need someone to bring up the rear, especially in the speed challenges, right...? And also it will, hopefully, leave some room for improvement...

I remember reading on the Nike+ forum a while back that the Best Mile was infact really the Best 1st Mile..... is that still the case? I know they were looking to change it.
EDIT: Found it on the My Records FAQ:
The Fastest 1-mile refers to the fastest pace achieved at the 1-mile marker in a workout. Nike are reviewing this.
Is that they same for our challenge?

YES as i found out many times - i do 2 x 1 mile run's or there and back
Nike+ will count your first mile as your best - the iPod will count your best mile overall
