Not a track runner but I do competitive swimming. I remember that I have a 22 minute 5k in a community run, but I lost around a minute or two waiting for traffic lights.
Finally got my first sub-6 with a 5.749!!! Really lucky solve :D

I'll see what I can do! It's a bit hard to figure out the controls for mobile though, should I make it similar to the keyboard ones or should I limit the controls to only R, U, L and F moves (and the rotations)?
TL;DR - Got bored one day and decided to replicate the csTimer virtual cube on Scratch!

Before you click on the project, you'll just see a 5x6 grid of random squares of colours that seem to change randomly when you press on the keyboard. So, how the...

Also got a 7.365 on your scramble :p Very lucky fullstep!
Came back to cubing recently, and after a month I popped off with a sub 10 ao250! I still have to work on my turning because it's a little choppy. Cross+1 practice is really paying off :D
2 years later and this is a goldmine of nostalgia, holy cow.
Forget about the road to sub 20, I'm actually going for sub 15!!!
So... here's what happened while I completely forgot about this thread.

That's some crazy fast improvement right there! Try to one-look your cubeshape if you haven't already, you don't have to memorize algs but just try to look for the scallop-kite / scallop-scallop patterns.
Impressive singles for your average, holy crap! I average like low 11 on 3x3 and I've only gotten 5 sub 7s in around 5000-6000 solves.
Any advice on getting lucky on 2x2 btw :)
Absolutely horrible opinion but we should have budget Maglev cubes!
edit: Not software-related but I don't think there's a thread for cube ideas, sooooo.
