Well done on your HM Badbark. Fantastic time!
468 is still very good mileage Catcat! And well done on joining a club too. You can easily reach 1000 by the end of the year I reckon.
JR - good to hear your achillies is pain free and that you are retaining your fitness.
I did do the HM yesterday which took last week's mileage up to 30.1 and the total for this year to 576.
Congrats on the HM BADBARK , great going, good luck in hitting the 1000 mile target very, very soon.
Thanks Small, buying myself a new road bike this week, going to sort myself properly this time! Ankle feels great at the moment but my knee clearly needs time.
Sunday 4th July - 24.73 mile bike ride
1300 feet of elevation, just a couple of hills! Really enjoyable, not quite as much fun as running but once i get a proper road bike i might fit in with the rest of the two wheeled brigade. Not exactly a friendly bunch i can tell you, far less of them say good morning than runners, miserable bunch. It seems the more expensive the bike/gear, the less likely this lot are to speak. Its not like any of them were exactly giving it some either, just turned their noses up at the yokel on the hybrid bike. tossers! Cannot wait to get back to running with people from the real world!
Great half marathon time for Badcock.
Just had a look at my bike and flat tyres, so need to get my pump out. Haven't been in the bike for about a year and was thinking of a bit of cycle commuting.
Great going at the Ards half Badbark, looks like you're going to beat me to the 1000 mile mark, year total for me 933.99.
Stick with it JR, i know how strange the cycling world can be but if it keeps your fitness level up until you return to running it will be worth it.
Keep at it Catcat, you'll soon refind your enthusiasm and 1000 miles this year is very attainable!
Well done on completing the HM Small!
Yippee! I’ve just past the 1000 mile barrier for the year during my 15 miler this morning. There were no cars about when I hit the 1000 mile mark so I had a little dance and then noticed a man out walking who was beaming like a Cheshire cat!
1009 total for the year!
Good luck to everyone else.
Woohoo Badbark, well done!!
A week off running for me since last Sunday, lots of stretching and now on the ferry to Skye. A week of running and Monroe bagging awaits after the epic drive from Sheffield.
24 miles done last week. That takes my total up to 600 miles.
Mind, our dog is certainly quiet after yesterday's hill walking, not sure that Norfolk Terrier legs are made for Scottish mountains!!
Congrats on getting to the 600 Small.
Total for the year now at 990.46, edging closer to the 1000!!
Thanks for support everyone! As I’ve reached the target for this thread I’ll not keep posting my totals but will definitely keep cheering you all on.
That sounds like very enjoyable running Richard.
Well done on breaking 600 small, you’re nicely ahead of schedule.
Nearly there WR, I hope the rain dies down for you!
Did it, got out for a 6.47 mile run yesterday afternoon and passed 1000 miles at the 5.22 mile point. Gave out a cheer and increased the pace for the rest of my run. To celebrate took the kids out for pizza!
Total : 1001.25
Cheers WR
Well done WR!
Congratulations WR and good luck for reaching 2010!!
You’ve given me food for thought with the 2010 mile goal. I’ve just started training for Dublin marathon which would have me on course by the end of October. I had planned for 2 weeks complete rest after that but I’ll see how I feel after a week and make my mind up then.
Good luck WR
Hi
Reached 500 for 2010 at the Sheffield Hallam Parkrun yesterday and extended that to 508 this morning.
Confident about hitting 1000 as was out of action most of Jan/Feb due to hernia operation.
My motivation restoring race got cancelled, just what I needed to get some enthusiasm going. But entered MK half marathon on a whim today, was going well up to 11 miles, when the lull in training really kicked in and missed my PB by 4 mins. But enjoyed most of it, so hopefully got a bit of my passion back
since my last post its been 2 weeks of 6.7M and 22.5M. making it 35.4 for the month and 503.3 for the year
Apologises - I haven't read the thread for a while - but can see some people have made some mileage targets - well done!!!
I've continued to be a lazy arse, but have at least found some running mojo again, so I'll try and read this thread and get back with it over the next couple of days.
Last post was 412.7 miles. Since then I've done: 6.35 miles, 7.55 miles, 2.5 miles giving a total of 429.1 miles.
Joined a running club, my mrs has joined aswell, so hopefully no more excuses!
Interesting thread, never really checked my overall milege per year so I have just added up all my log entries and have completed to date from 1st Jan 2010 is 913 miles, which I consider isn't bad as I only started running in March 2009.
I am currently running 6 days a week and covering an average of 40 miles each week.
Got another orienteering thing this week and should be able (work dependent) to have my first training session with my new running club.
14.8M this week, need to be averaging 21.3M per week to get to the big 1000 by the end of the year.
Did a (just over) 5k last night, plus 1.5 mile warm up on the way. Garmin read as 5 miles.
Now up to 434.1 miles.
