Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

Yes I’ve loved having the 700 company. I’ll be out later to finish and have also been surprised at how doable it is providing you’re not doing anything else, which I wasn’t. It was a 30% increase in mileage over the month but not that much of a jump on a week by week basis. Aiming to cut back to c.15 miles this week

SW 5k a day is some achievement too.

I think doing RtS for 2 months in a row while the weather was fine was okay but Saturday's ice just brought home what is in store for us. I might streak to get the 75 days badge but at my own mileage

Afternoon all. I wasn’t going to run today but couldn’t think of a good enough excuse so dragged myself out at lunchtime and ran the fastest 3 miles I’ve done in a very very long time. The last one even started with an 8!

Well done Paula! :)

I finally dragged myself out and was pleased to have at least 1 mile with no walks - going down hill for half of it helps. ;-)

Well done the RtS crew bunting

I'd love to do it but can't because of my shifts. Well, I probably *could*.

Great stuff Paula. I’m now wishing I had went out this morning before work as the weather is now dire

Evening, and well done to all the RtS lot, and record monthly mileages!
I was meant to do 7 today, but my left heel was niggling yesterday (PF is in my right foot but it doesn't feel too dissimilar) so did 4.5 instead. No pain running, just niggling afterwards so need to stretch.

Takes me to 50 miles this month, with 50 to go in Dec for my adjusted target of 600.

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.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
