McGoohan Apr 2020 9:44am, 5 Apr 2020 44,416 posts	0 McGoohan I wanted to get out there before there were many other punters out. Saw pretty much no-one for the first four miles and only a handful after that.

McGoohan Apr 2020 9:49am, 5 Apr 2020 44,417 posts	0 McGoohan The other thing it's made me realise is that I quite like doing strenuous exercise followed by the yoga. I'm aiming to run every other day with cross training thrown in between: rowing and the like, but always top it off with some yoga.
TeeBee Apr 2020 9:50am, 5 Apr 2020 6,041 posts	0 TeeBee Well done McGoo and morning all. I also got out early (just after 7am for 10 miles) to avoid people. There were still plenty of people around but sufficiently spaced that nobody caused anyone else any difficulty. Wouldn't want to be out later around here - too many people in too small a space.

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.
