When you guys go on about 3 miles in 25 mins etc, are you doing a 3 mile circuit over grass and allsorts of terrain. Im pretty inner city in Liverpool and my 3 mile is roads and pavement, its pretty up and down with a killer hill at the end. My best time for this is round about 19 mins. I claim I can go faster as well. Are my times different cos im just road running?

There was a short topic about the 3 miler before chistmass called "PRMC 3 miler", it features 1st hand info from Ro55 and is worth a butchers if yer wondering about it.

how are you guys judging your distance... is it an estimate or have you actually measured it with a running/distance calibrator or bike speedo?

By yerself a map book that shows cross-country paths on it, and use the edge of a peace of paper and a pencil to mark along your route if you no what i mean. for instence - a path has a bend in it, mark of the lenth each straight with a pencil and the compined distence will be the lenth of the path. To convert your distence into miles or whatever find the scale in the book and lay out the edge of the peace of paper along it. Make sure you get the right scale.

Good luck.
