    I'm intrigued as to how people would rather do a mile, I'd either cycle or swim it. I've never really liked running.

    I'd do it slow and gently in front of an open fire.

    Id rather cycle it, but i haven't had a bike since i was like 8, so if i was told to go do a mile now... i'd run/walk it.

    Cycling would be easier and quicker, even though I hardly ever cycle.

    Definitely cycle, I look like drowning child when I try to swim and running bores me.

    I'd either cycle or I'd swim it as well. I hate running, and have never really enjoyed it, even when I used to be good at it.

    Car :ahee:

    But seriously I would prefer to ride a bike than run or swim (which are okay but if cycling is an option then I'm all up for that!)

    Probably run/walk it. I'm a terrible swimmer and even though riding a bike is one of those things that you'll probably never forget, I haven't rode one since I was 8/9 and I wouldn't be much good at it now. Besides, with the right music, running ain't too much of a problem.

    Out of the main 3 options i went for cycling.
    It's the least effort and the quickest...



    I also picked other: Motorbike. :ahee:
