Dave W Jun 2022 5:52pm, 30 Jun 2022 7,911 posts	0 Dave W Exactly 24000 in 6 months. That leaves me the trifling number of 76000 to do in the next 6 months to hit my target. Unlikely, but I'll see how close I can get.

UltraDunc Jun 2022 6:34pm, 30 Jun 2022 15,006 posts	0 UltraDunc Ahhh just peeked at your splits! Thanks for the advice NDWDave
NDWDave Jun 2022 9:05pm, 30 Jun 2022 16,964 posts	0 NDWDave Western states starts with a 3 mile climb rising nearly over 2,000ft so that was definitely one to start slowly
Silent Runner Jun 2022 9:10pm, 30 Jun 2022 770 posts	0 Silent Runner Well done UltraDunc and Dave W. Very impressive totals. Good luck with your 100, Dunc. I didn't quite reach my target of 9000 by the end of June. On the plus side, I did reach my brand new target of 8750 by the end of June. It's good to be flexible, right? I was planning to try and continue with 100 a day into July, but I don't think the motivation is there at the moment. I'm going to try to do enough daily to keep my average rising (which means 50+ at the moment; should be doable). Hopefully I'll get a bit of motivation back soon.
Muttley Jul 2022 4:52pm, 1 Jul 2022 1,669 posts	0 Muttley My goal is 36,500 by year's end, ie to average 100 a day. Passed 25,000 today so well on target, even with a break scheduled later this month.
Silent Runner Jul 2022 5:20pm, 1 Jul 2022 774 posts	0 Silent Runner I’d like to increase the number I can do in an individual set. I currently do sets of 15, mostly; I can do more, but repeating sets of more than 15 gets hard pretty quickly. I finished off today with two slow sets of 10 with a bit of added weight. I’m hoping if I do that regularly it’ll make the unweighted sets easier.
Kittenheels Kath Jul 2022 11:56am, 9 Jul 2022 3,378 posts	0 Kittenheels Kath Me too, SR, I have done up to 25 in one hit before, but I wouldn't have attempted any more soon after that.
