Gobi Feb 2023 12:14pm, 17 Feb 2023 79,261 posts	0 Gobi I guess having done the miles I did and them being a side effect of my racing goals that I shall be lucky if I do 150 miles in a month. Target race distance for me this year is 800 metres, 1500 at a push.
Ness Feb 2023 12:16pm, 17 Feb 2023 28,911 posts	0 Ness That's some awesome mileage. My best ever were last year. I managed 160 miles in February ( preparation for the Ashby Twenty) and 175 in August (in the run up to the Chester Marathon). Did start to get irritating niggles and strains on that volume so I took that as a sign that it wasn't working for me. I'm hoping to average at around 130ish per month this year.
