Yesterday, I ran my 32nd half marathon. Doubt I'll ever manage 100 but it'd be good to try. :)

Wow, here's a thread I had forgot existed! Even though I was the last poster before today :-p.

Plenty of time Ness - only need three a year.

I've only added eleven since my previous post

(gah!) almost three years ago. Got back under two hours again and in fact the last one was my fastest in over four years (although the preceding one, my fortieth, was a stinker).

Just need to find some more to run now. And do some training ;-) .

How come I only know about this thread? Thank you Ness for reviving it.

I have often thought about a 100 target for a distance other than the big

If its to be the half will need to get running

Great idea

I had forgotten this one as well. I see that when the thread was started I had done 51. I think that it is now 75. Progress has slowed and the number of full marathons/ultras is catching up but I should get to 100 some time in the next two or three years, hopefully.

By Dvorak's estimates I'd be running my 100th half marathon around my 70th birthday. LOL that's something to aim for.

Glass you like the thread, NO. One I thought was definitely worth reviving. :)

I've done 7.
6 on my portfolio plus one in a previous life, 1989 Tunbridge Wells.

May take some doing.

26 Half Marathons for me and I'm definitely in the 'want to get to 100' gang. I'm also on a run of doing more each year

1 in 2010
2 in 2011
3 in 2012
5 in 2013
7 in 2014
8 in 2015

so based on keeping the more each year going (if only by 1 extra) I should get there early 2022.

Quite fancy doing some multi-day HM's. Ultra Running Ltd do a week of events twice a year in Hartlebury with option to run a half each morning and afternoon so potentially 14 in a week! How Hard Can It Be events also do 6 days in a row at the start of November in Telford.

These events are primarily for Marathons but have Half Marathon options - anyone know of any others?

I don't know of anything like that but some half marathons e.g Birmingham and Black Country, Newark Castle and Market Harborough are on a Saturday, which presents the possibility of a double with a different one on a Sunday.

There's been a bit of debate about the 100 Marathon Club. But wait! What about those of us who do...
