    This looks more like a google docs bug as there were changes made to the document that are not possible to be done by a person. If the owner of the doc posts here then google will have a look at it. Usually take 1-2 days when I have a problem.

    I've just reverted back to the pre younganne takeover this morning.

    If you thought it was bad when there was six of you, you should have seen it a few minutes ago. You were close to taking over the world. :)




    Thought that we'd bored the spreadsheet vandals by this stage. :mad:

    1000 ticked over on this morning run. Now lets see if I can hold it together for the second half :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 438 ✭✭docjewel


    Passed the 1000 mark today during the Waterford Marathon.A big thank you to those that came up with this idea,it really helps to push on for another mile or two with the chips are down:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,079 ✭✭✭BeepBeep67


    Just tipped over the 1k mark today myself - behind target so here's to an injury free 2nd half.


  • Registered Users Posts: 143 ✭✭D Chief


    Got to the 1000 mark yesterday morning, July 1st, in the Phoenix Park. I had hoped to make it before the end of June, but was just 4 miles short.
    Well done to the 3 who made it on June 30th. Now, I hope to make it to 2,000 before the end of the year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 49 seanie_m


    I'm quite late to the party here (in case anyone is wondering who the dud is at the bottom of the list) but thought I'd take part and try and make it as close to 1,000 as i can!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭eyeball kid


    This is first week I've been able to run since March really. Problems with my knees since then. Starting back very slowly and hopefully there is no re occurrence any time soon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,062 ✭✭✭davedanon


    Finally passed the 1,000 mile mark on Sunday after a 15 miler. Since Kildare a combination of marathon-recovery, work, holidays, mountain-climbing and illness, in that order, have played merry hell with the training schedule. Back in harness now, hopefully, and normal service has been resumed. Now the challenge is to get that average back over 40m per week, and hit 2,000 before years-end.

    What is everyone training for/recovering from to account for their high mileage? In my case London Marathon last April and Berlin in September next so 2 marathon cycles of miles and miles..


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,704 ✭✭✭✭RayCun


    Dublin half marathon this year, Amsterdam marathon next year. I want to be running at least 100k a week consistently by the time I start the specific marathon training. Or earlier, by the end of the year perhaps.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,842 ✭✭✭Micilin Muc


    Trained for Connemarathon for the first 3 months, then built mileage up to 55 miles a week in preparation for Dublin Marathon training. I'm a relatively slow runner compared to the others around me in the spreadsheet, but the increased mileage definitely helped me get faster.

    Dingle Ultra in Sept for me. Mileage has ramped up again over past 3 weeks. Enjoying it so far but still a long way to go.

    Serious base mileage target. Haven't quite managed a single week of 100k yet this or any other year. Following P&D in search of a sub 3 in Berlin (3:02 in London) so if I stick to plan and the body holds up I have 9 weeks of 100k between now and mid-September

    London back in April and Marine Corp Marathon (Washington) in October for me. But I'm only just over the 700 miles point so far and am not looking like I'll be knocking off anywhere near enough between now and October now to be able to put in a decent effort there.

    Dingle Ultra as well for me.
    Started out with a marathon as a goal, that became a 50km (Portumna)
    I'd also like to tackle this:
    http://connect.garmin.com/course/1636567
    Might get to do it later in the year after Dingle.
    If anyone else would like to try it that would be great.
    I'm also thinking about doing the blackwater/duhallow/avondu way as a multi-day
    Currently just enjoying the running.

    I had run just over 900 miles last year so I took up this challenge to push myself a bit more,floated with the idea of doing a marathon & so with the mileage going well did the Waterford marathon.To have gone over the 1000 mile mark already this year has really surprised me.Plan for the rest of the year? Would love to have a go at the Dublin marathon but probably won't be able to train as much for it + need an operation on my left ankle which hopefully won't keep me out of action too long.If Dublin doesn't work out then either the Waterford half marathon or Clonakilty marathon in December will be my targets.
