Did I mention I did 8.1 miles today? I found myself with a dilemma after yesterday’s run. 18.5 miles by the end of November would take me to 100 miles for the month, my first century for over 5 years. Coincidentally, it would also take me to 582 for the year which would make it my 5th best year ever. I’d 6.5 miles planned which would leave me to do 6 miles each on Sunday and Monday. Doable.

Then I remembered I can’t do my normal Monday morning run, therefore I need to do as much as possible tomorrow, or just forget about arbitrary targets? I could do with a rest day too.

Aim for a good December - when I had a monthly target of 100 miles I always front-loaded the winter months in case of snow/ice later. Also there's 31 days to play with compared with only 30 in Nov.

Morning all, another tea for David & anyone else up at stupid o clock. Luck with that decision Dio, I’m looking forward to a rest week & more cycling after RtS & trying to wean myself off round numbers :-)

Morning all. Sorry David :-(
An advantage to running to time rather than distance - I often end runs on a very unround number (Linds doesn't like it). It means the monthly miles sort of stack up without really noticing. I have no idea what I'm in for this month at present.

Hope you work it out, Dio.

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: 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. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
