HAIRY MATHS

Interval training last night. Miles and two miles. Tough going. Especially when you have to do mental arithmetic while running. However, here are the findings:



"Naw, naw. You need to carry your three..."



• 1 mile = 1609 meters (give or take a baw hair).
• So: 1 mile ran on a 400m track should be 4 circuits of the track plus an extra 9 meters.
• However: 1 “normal” running track = 400m BUT 1 “Hallhill” running track = 410m (within a baw hair).
• Or: 1 "Hallhill mile" = 1.019 "normal" mile
• Assuming: 1 “Hallhill mile” (4 complete circuits of the track) = 1640 meters (baw hairs apply).
• So: 1 “Hallhill mile” at 6:00 pace = 1 “normal” mile at 5:53 pace (baws…etc.) (0:6:00 ÷ 1.019 x 1 = 0:5:53)

Or.... just wear your GPS.
