The Wimpy Mile The Fastest Mile In Dahlonega!

The Wimpy Mile, billed as the fastest mile in Dahlonega, takes place in Dahlonega, Georgia, on February 13, 2027. There is one format on the schedule, a single mile (1.6 km), starting at 10:00 AM.

A road mile is a different event from a 5K and it needs a different warm-up: twenty minutes of easy jogging, some drills and three or four strides at race pace, finishing close enough to the start that you are still warm. Pacing is the whole race. Go out at the pace you can actually hold rather than the one adrenaline offers, run the third quarter as hard as the first, and you will beat runners who are fitter than you. Two or three weeks of short, fast repetitions with full recoveries is enough specific work for most people.
