Hello and welcome to fellow runners,
I have just run my last run of 2021. For the last few years there has been a thread to encourage each other to run 1000 miles in the year. I have found it very motivating, inspiring and useful.
I hope you will feel able to join us on what is usually an exciting and challenging journey through the running year!
Personally I am training to step over the start line of a marathon but my main aim is to enjoy running throughout the year regardless of what happens 🏃♀️

I'll have a think about targets for 2022.
I may well join in yours as well given how much I have struggled in 2021!
Onwards and upwards!
Edit: some figures whilst I have my calculator out!
1000 miles is 1609.34 km for those like me who work in metric!
1000 miles = 2.74 miles or 4.41 km per day or 19.18 miles/30.86 km per week.
I've got one more run to do for 2021, taking our Friday run group out for a hilly 6 miler before Hogmanay cheers kick in.
Not sure what I'll do in 2022, my 1800 mile in 2021 was helped by a lot of working from home, so who knows.
See you all on the other side.
Last run of the year done, working New Year’s Eve into new year.
Last day I didn’t run was 30 Dec 2020 so Runstreak now on day 366. Averaged 5.047 miles a day.
YTD 1842.13 miles
YTD: 4
Alehouse welcome, good to know you have worked out the mileage for the weeks, does seem very easy to do when it is January the first!!!!
Donnie have you thought about doing Manchester?
Hobie I am going to learn from you and track my elevation gain, and see if my Garmin is consistent or not........
Started the year with the long run, 19 miles. Headwind of 12-15mph for 16 miles then I turned round! Lots of dogs out, but I ran for 8 miles only seeing a horse rider!
YTD: 19
Elevation: 465 feet
Nice run TT, starting strongly, elevation around here isn't a problem...I finished 2021 with 5 and a bit Everests.
Easing into 2022 with a warm 6 around the coast path, busy on the beaches with surfers and swimmers.
6 miles YTD
774 ft elevation
That was a great time for a group that had hardly ventured beyond 10km!
Alehouse... Welcome!
TT... A serious run for 1st.Jan. 19 miles!? (Headwinds and Horse riders; don't get those on the treadmill!)
Cal... Setting an easy parkrun time at the start of the year!
OK. Looks like I've signed-up for another year!
My starter for the year was a 7' steady (?) run, bringing me to the end of a 33mile week.
(Age grading today was just under 67%. I'll be aiming for a higher grade on a couple of runs each week.)
YTD: 7' .
Today our little Friday Run group ventured out to do a half marathon...most have never done more than a 10k...smashed it out of the ballpark...just over 2 hours, plenty of short breaks to regroup, lots of chat and support. Rain, wind and even a bit of sunshine.
19 miles YTD
Like Cal, I am going to make sure I recover gradually from the nightmare of 2021 (COVID, L4 etc).
01/01 - 4.35 miles (to and back from parkrun).
02/01 - 11.07
YTD = 15.42 miles.
Harmander, 2021 wasn't kind to you, me or MrM2, was it? Let's hope 2022 will be better.
Great stuff, Hobie!
Took yesterday off to visit Winter Wonderland and ride some coasters, so did my long run today. I wanted to do 18 miles but my legs did not. 12 it was, then.
YTD: 16
My daughter managed to fall over, tripping over her feet - as a tail walker, I found it hilarious.
Hobie that is a brilliant achievement for your group, fabulous start to the year.
This morning I ignored the OH who offered to pick me up if I just ran east and ran round town. Wind, wind and more wind, but the run is done.
YTD: 40.05
EG: 720 ft
TT, you are storming away with the lead now!
Anyway, another 4.35 miles today.
YTD = 19.77 miles
Had my booster this morning (10 minutes in, jab, out) no effects so far so out for a hilly hour this afternoon before the weather changes to chilly.
26 miles YTD
2234 ft elevation
YTD: 20' .
MrMr2 somehow our legs always make it known what they want!
Harmander good to see you back running consistently.
We have ice, again, so back on the TM. Decided to do a spin class first and stay at the gym.
YTD: 47.3
EG: 720 ft
TT: You asked about Manchester. As you know I recommended the event based on my October experience and still would however I'm not doing it in April. Since October I've struggled a bit with my hip, nothing serious I just need to be more flexible, had a bad cold, then covid, I just don't think I'll be ready in time and maybe my commitment is a bit down. I'm looking at either the Retford or NE lincolnshire HMs in spring. Retford is the 1st Sunday in March. I'm guessing you'll have run the lincolnshire one and maybe Retford?
YTD: 10
I seriously need to buy a calculator!
YTD: 37.3
10*800 @ 5 km pace with a very long WU and WD.
YTD: 46.94
A simple 7 miles on familiar roads. Enjoyable, even though it was a bit 'ploddy'. (blame the extra layers)
YTD: 27' .
Got out today for a gentle one with work run group, felt kind of bleuch...might be booster still kicking around my system. Decided not to do Run Club tonight...rest might be better.
30 miles YTD
YTD: 24
YTD: 29
No running club for me tonight...guess who's got Covid, inevitable I guess so a few lonely days.
I live in the middle of nowhere so I might still get a few lone miles done without upsetting anyone...started doing yoga again which feels hard at the moment but will hopefully help flexibility.
