Focus Mainly on Speed

SpeedSpeed

When training for Umamusume that will race on Mile races, you should mainly focus on Speed as Mile is the second shortest distance and don't need Stamina that much.

While you should prioritize Speed, you should also increase your Power and Stamina a little bit as this is a longer race than Sprints.

Get Mile Skills

Mile Skills

To do better in Mile races, prioritize getting Mile skills whenever you get hints during your Training.

Train Power and Stamina Depending on Running Style

Front Runner/Pace Chaser
Speed >> Power
Late Surger/End Closer
Speed >> Power Stamina

While Speed should be your main priority, train Power and Stamina as this is a little longer than Sprint races.

Use More Speed Support Cards

Speed Deck

Mile racers will require your Umamusume to have a lot of Speed so use 3-4 Speed cards whenever you are training a Mile racer.

All Support Cards

Use Power Cards Depending on Running Style

Depending on what running style your Umamusume is good at, we suggest using at least 2 Power cards so they have an easier time overtaking racers on their front.
