If you seriously mean that RA why do it? Surely you run a risk of knocking back your recovery from injury?

4 very enjoyable miles run - 2 with dog off road, 2 on road on own. Still very warm out there and still in shorts and t shirt

Great news on the VLM, Claire. Apparently more people than ever have applied this year, so each person's chance of getting a place is even lower than in previous years.

Either I'm just going down with a cold, or I'm fighting one off. Decided against the vibe cycle class, but went for a massage which I'd booked a couple of weeks ago. The masseuse did some interesting things to the troublesome achilles. Unfortunately she's not going to be in my local town after next week; I can still see her, but in another town about half an hour's drive away.

Oh Pothunter -how could they do that? getting in this year should have been minimum "payment" for using his image!

Still not heard - was the same last year, got the no email eventually then - so expecting the same this year. It's not even that I enjoyed London that much or I have a burning desire to do it again - it's that "everyone" thinks London is THE marathon and it's a big deal, family would understand the training miles better and even work would be supportive...... (rant over)

Evening all, btw, sorry been a bit sidetracked by stuff - here and elsewhere - today

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
