So, with 2020 being a leap year, what do we do? Do we decrease our daily target from 1.91781 to 1.91357 miles a day, or increase our overall target to 701.91781 miles? Or we could have an rest day. How about we all take the 29th February off and have a Fetchfest?

Yes, a once in 28 years opportunity. I'm not sure I'm going to be parkrunning when I'm 80 (though I won't rule it out just yet).

I am hoping that I shall still be parkrunning at 80. Even if it has to be a parkwalk.

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.
