This is an interesting concept!

I checked mine and 23 for running, 15 for cycling and 1 for swimming.

Baz - you've got turbo sessions of longer than 27 miles logged....

That's hardcore! The maximum I've managed on my turbo trainer in my garage is 15 miles!

I was 13 for running, 46 for cycling and 2 for swimming.

Swimming will definitely go no higher !

Prompted by the podcast I checked mine and it is 26 for running, though I’m not sure whether this is affected by my metric setting.

I was just about to ask how switching to metric would affect the scores.

I can't use the calculator thing because my earliest logs from 2005 are just monthly totals recorded on the last day of the month which skews the results.

But I've logged 46 races of longer than 46 miles, so I guess mine is 46 :-)

It seems to me Pothunter that it's miles regardless of unit setting. Make sense to me as I have done a lot of marathons but only once longer, hence 26.
