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
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Eddington number - do you know yours?

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.
