Nice to see some new faces here, welcome all :)

Not off the mark for 2017 yet, man flu is still lingering, but may get out for a plod this evening.

I've set my target on another group but will be flitting in and out of here to see how you're all getting on.

No running today I've been swimming though!!! Big thing for me after I put myself of swimming many years ago.

My pal is supposed to be popping over for a hot tub, if she's not quick then I'll be putting my workout on instead!

Hi all, well after hitting the 500 twice in the last four years (last year was dreadful!) I'm back to have another go, let's call it the best of five! Thanks again GG, good luck everyone!

2.5 this morning. Was shocked to find myself in the top 10 on the target graph/list thing, can't imagine it will last once work kicks in again.

Hello - I thought I'd join this target group & thread too - although I'll say first of all I am notoriously bad at sticking with threads so you may not see me here much after the end of January but I managed 503 miles in 2016 and that was my most in a year for a long time - even though I have previously always aimed for 700 miles in a year I think 500 is a realistic target.

I used to try to join the 700 thread but would come home from a day at work to so many posts that I couldn't keep up - I will probably be more of a lurker than poster here too I suspect.

Now I need to go and reset my target to 500 to see just how far behind I am already! Good luck everyone :-)

No miles for me so far this year! I'm off to the gym for PT tonight so will get a km or two in on the treadmill before hand no doubt to get me up and running. The plan then is parkrun on Sat and possibly a longer run on Sunday :)

I'm going to go for this. It's also an optimistic goal but worth a go :-)
I'll be a late starter as I'm battling a few issues and also having surgery next week so will have some recovery/rehab to do and I'm not sure when I can run.
Had planned on getting a few miles in before next week but have a sore foot which randomly developed yesterday. One injury at a time would be nice!

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
Another group for another year, but whether you're aiming for 500 or more or less lets just have a nice little social group to share our goals and running antics.

Everyone is welcome, whether you don't want to set an official target or you may be aiming further but still want to pop by for a chat/offer some words of wisdom or just because the door is always open and kettle is on.

Target miles Link http://www.fetcheveryone.com/training-mileagetargets-filtered.php?category=RUN&mileage=500

to set your mileage:

Go to the Train tab

scroll down to where it says - annual mileage targets

there should be a little box to the right in red, click for run and add your mileage.

Race Planner docs.google.com

(When you go in give yourself a colour so I know you're wanting to be on the sheet so I can keep it tidy)

If you update the race planner after I've updated the header drop me an fmail or a reminder (or 2) on the thread so I know to update. Thanks
