I need motivation to swim regularly. I don't want to join the club for various reasons and my swimming buddy moved away. Once a week would do IF I would actually swim a decent distance, like 2.5km. I want to do another tri but I need to impeove my swimming because I am slow on the bike and right now v slow in pool.

I'm doing Benfleet 15 on the 19th Jan; Tarpley 20 on 23rd Feb and VMLM whenever it is in April.

AND Mr Carp wants to come to Mývatn and run the 10k :)

I’m hoping to be able to run again soon although I am feeling a bit deflated about running generally. I was so optimistic about what I could achieve this year and once again, it didn’t happen. :(
In 2020, I’d like to run regularly and get up to at least 10K again so that I can run a few races. I’m not worried about PBs or WAVA - I’d just like to have fun running with friends.
Hopefully, I’ll be more successful than I was this year.

I shall target 350 for the year. Initially. If I look like doing it easily, I may retarget for 375.

Youngest Son is trying to persuade me to enter the Bristol 10k (he's entering it himself). May allow myself to be persuaded. It's several years since I've done a race.

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.
