Can’t start running till mid jan as per physio instructions and a late November marathon that will reduce mileage at the end of the year. Have to hope for a injury free marathon build up to bump up the miles
Pegg Jan 2022 6:47am, 2 Jan 2022 306 posts	0 Pegg Can I play? I targeted 1750 miles last year but finished on 2409 so it would be nice to get to 2500 this year. I’m training for my first ultra - Hardwolds 40 - in June so having a goal that goes beyond that could be useful. Other races booked - Snake Lane in February and Boston Marathon (UK) in April.

Nord SledRunner Jan 2022 2:24pm, 2 Jan 2022 1,031 posts	0 Nord SledRunner I'm not sure which to opt for this year. Last year was 3000 mi but for me that tends to push out the quality. This year I want to cut back the distance a bit and do a bit more speedwork, which seems all the more important now I'm well into my 60s and losing a lot of pace in the last couple of years. For now I'll put myself in the 2500 table.
chunkywizard Jan 2022 3:04pm, 2 Jan 2022 13,234 posts	0 chunkywizard Nice to have you here Doc, you're always welcome! NSR, I know what you mean about wanting to get back some speed! I have put in 2000 miles as a target but I really want to get faster. I am targeting 5K/10K races to try and get the speed back.
Pegg Jan 2022 9:03am, 19 Jan 2022 310 posts	0 Pegg So by my reckoning, to hit 2500 this year I need to be on 130 miles today to be on track (taking a linear route). I'm 5 miles ahead How's everyone else doing?

Big_G Jan 2022 9:55am, 19 Jan 2022 1,391 posts	0 Big_G I have tentatively stuck 2250 miles in for my annual target this year. I am currently on 137 (and am due an 11-miler today), and today's break-even is 117, so I am currently ahead! I think after January last year though, I was never ahead of the 2021 target for the rest of the year, following a fall/concussion, and I never clawed the mileage back. If I can be consistent I have a chance.....famous last words, I know!
Sam Jelfs Jan 2022 9:55am, 19 Jan 2022 1,022 posts	0 Sam Jelfs I failed miserably last year thanks to various injuries, and I am already a few miles behind target, but hoping to hit 2500 miles / 4000-ish km this year... Pegg -If you go to fetcheveryone.com/training-targets.php it will show you the breakeven point and if you are +- it at the moment. Says you are 9km up on todays target to me.
