jelly (limegreenjelly) Sep 2021 8:33am, 3 Sep 2021 1,264 posts	0 jelly (limegreenjelly) Gosh it’s the beginning of September! Just got back from 2 weeks holiday, couple of nights near Glastonbury then 11 nights on the Isle of Wight! I DNF’ed my 100k, I just ran out of run at 43 miles! Onwards and upwards I’m still running every day and working on a 10 mile a day average for the year! Still a few events to come! How’s everyone else?
Velociraptor Sep 2021 8:36am, 3 Sep 2021 53,991 posts	0 Velociraptor I admire your resilience, jelly I'm no longer in contention for 2000+ miles. Currently 123 miles below the line and there's no way I'll be doing 200-mile months for the rest of the year. Should manage 1800 if everything goes smoothly from now.
Oscar the Grouch Sep 2021 9:04am, 3 Sep 2021 3,464 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch I've run out of legs on an ultra. I know how you feel. There was no prospect of any more running so I dropped out. Easy enough to find a marshal as me and my mate were plum last! Vrap, you can have some of mine. I find myself on almost 1800 somehow...
chunkywizard Sep 2021 10:46am, 3 Sep 2021 12,531 posts	0 chunkywizard All going well here. Ramping up to VLM and have sore legs but then again, when are they not sore? Maidenhead Half on Sunday which I intend to try and run at MP on tired legs, should be fun!
Rossco Peeko Sep 2021 12:14pm, 3 Sep 2021 173 posts	0 Rossco Peeko Mileage has tailed off a bit in the last couple of months (work/holidays/mojo) so now falling short off the 200mi/month stretch goal. Today marks day 497 of the streak though so still on track to get past the 2000 mile target.
StuH Sep 2021 12:33pm, 3 Sep 2021 4,221 posts	0 StuH Despite higher mileage than June and July dropping further behind target (-4%). Still struggling with knee issues and Chiltern Wonderland 50 only 2 weeks away. Slowly improving but unsure if it's too late.
Jimmyx Sep 2021 4:30pm, 4 Sep 2021 29 posts	0 Jimmyx I increased by milage over August in the lead up to the Thames Path 100km race next weekend. In the process I set personal best milage for a single week and month, and got over the 2021 mile total a head of schedule. The Stour Valley Path 50km went alright - I didnt really taper as I was using it as a bit of tourism/race rehersal and didn't plan out the water stops properly. With the race starting at a sunny 1pm, this resulted in a slow grind through the middle sections. Overall, it was a great course and I would recommend the event but I probably didnt commit enough beforehand to make the most of the day. Happy running everyone.
SailorSteve Sep 2021 6:20pm, 4 Sep 2021 2,045 posts	0 SailorSteve Still chugging along at a bit over the required run rate which I should maintain for September with VLM hoving into view next month. Niggles, particularly calf, have been receding so I might just be coming into my version of full fitness: 20+ early tomorrow will be a good test. Best wishes to all.
