- How fast can a 62 year old marathoner run a 1 mile race, that is the million dollar question as i take part in the Bourton Road Runners, Bourton 1 mile race on Friday 10th may at 7:30pm.
It was a great experience for me and the first time i have ever taken part in a 1 mile race.
Did you take part also or have you ran any 1 mile races?
Let me know in the comments belwo.

Great time Danato. I visited Bourton on the water in 2019 when I was over on holiday from Ireland. What a beautiful village. They were having a rubber duck race that day! Quintessential British Village!
Thank you! We are spoilt here with some beautiful countryside and villages 🏆
according to the age grading calculator, your 5:42 is equivalent to a 39' 10K and a 3:03 marathon. Congratulations!
Oh wow, thanks for checking Jacob! My Garmin says 3:22 marathon despite having ran 3:02 last month 😱😱
One race type I've never done! Great time well done
Fantastic time 💪
Thank you Ian 🤩
Holy hell, what a fast race!
No messing here Mack 🤣🤣
Great time Donato you smashed it mate
Cheers John! It was hard work 🤩
Excellent running Donato, super fast time, but for over 60 is impressive, do you feel like people could trip over each other all taking off so fast? I m guessing by that time you were easily first in your age group, I’ve never ran a mile race before, definitely got to give it a go cheers👍
Thank you Reece and good question. Whilst I had same concerns of potential trip over we all had lots of space and the girls spread out within first 100m. I was 3rd for over 60s 🤪
That’s quick
Thank you 🏆
Well done beautiful place to run x
It is beautiful here 🏆
Nice work Marathon Marco! That looks bloody awful haha
Thank you Jack! 5 minutes of all out sprinting 🤣🤣
Well done, nice time.😀
Thank you! I should go faster with some 1 mile race training, yes?
@@PoetWithPace Yup, you seem to be good at all distances, but marathon training is the key, i think.
@@TheCarnivoreRunner.I think marathon training makes us slower at shorter distances. I’ve certainly seen a lot of ultra runners struggle to get back to marathon fast times.
Cracking time. I guess you don't agree with the runners who espouse strict diets; I'm with you on that.
Indeed a great time and race finish time! I don’t care what anyone chooses to eat, I just eat what I want as running is my hobby 🤩
That’s one heck of a pace Donato, you could tell from the off that this was full throttle for everyone. Do you know what the fastest time was?
Thank you Andy! No messing here. The winner was around 4:15 🏆
@@PoetWithPace Hi Donato, you’re carrying the torch for older runners💪I’ve just done the Geneva 10K, that was an experience😀
@@AndyCliffMTB that’s sounds fabulous Andy. Was it around the lake or up and down mountains?
@@PoetWithPace It starts in town, goes up about 150m and then drops down to lake level, I uploaded the video on Sunday if you want to immerse yourself in the GVA experience😊
Cheers Donato. Looked like a great event. I know you've run here before. Got to say, what a beautiful part of the world Bourton-on-the-water is.
How to run a mile race? Sprint your backside off for 6 mins and you should be done. 5:42 is very impressive.
I never do a warm up run before an event but certainly would if I was doing a mile race.
Ps. Sausage and chips looked awesome.
Thank you Colin! If I knew I was having sausage and chips I might of ran faster 🤪
I was planning to run this in 2024, but didn't know it was so early in the year. It was always in July from my memory. I ran it in 5:38, 2 months shy of my 59th birthday. I haven't even attempted a home mile in a long time.
It was always on a Saturday too, at 6:30 I think. I ran this and had the Great Newham London 10K the following morning, so I literally had no sleep in between races as I had to catch the train back to Brum, hadn't eaten all day so wanted to have a proper meal, then I had an early coach to catch to London. It just wasn't worth going to bed and having to get up in 2 hours.
Cracking time there buddy! I would prefer if it was in July and not so close to marathon season
@@PoetWithPace If you're interested, there is a Mile event, UKA licensed, on every 1st Friday of each month at around midday in Lammas Park in Ealing, London. A bit of a way to travel but if you're in London it's worth a go. The course isn't great though for fast times, for while it's flat, there's a few sharp turns and a cobbled bit as I recall. By the way, I was confused by you're 400 metre splits, as you gave over 3 mins for each one. I thought maybe you meant to say ONE instead of 3, but it still doesn't add up. Not that I'm disputing your time in any way, and it's better than I've run since I passed the 60 mark, so very well done!!
