I once caught my minute man in a mile, tubby* bloke on the 25 mile version of Fifield which just goes straight up Hawthorn Hill from the start.
My dad routinely gets caught in the first mile, as he's usually on a 9 doing 20mph average and followed by a fast man on a 0 doing 30mph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should not be concerned either with who you're catching or who is catching you - "ride your own race" is right at the top of the curriculum of Testing 1.01
