Stats of top 1000 milers

baza1976

Not sure if this is a runner or not (excuse the pun)

Just back from a run and as with most runs the mind ponders.

Well one ponder that came to me was Stats of the people that have already completed the 1000 mile challange.
The stats I'm interested are

Age:
Married/relationship: yes or no
Kids: if yes how many.
Other activities at moment: i.e if working do you attend collage in the evening of vic versa.
DO you run on your own or with other(s)

I be esp interested to hear from the top 10 but would also like to hear from people just like me.

Age: 33
Married/relationship: yes or no
Kids: 3
Other activities at moment: work & attending collage during evenings and have been for last 10 years kinda addictive like the running.
DO you run on your own or with other(s): yes always on my own:( since i started running 2 years when I finally gave up on the soccer and rugby I have only ever met 2 people going in same direction as me.

Since 2007 I completed 5 marathons and 1 10k

I'd like to see how I am really fairing.

If there are other questions relevent please add them.

Thanks

DO you run on your own or with other(s) 80:20 Own:Others

Back running 1.5yrs, have run 18 races this year.
Running is priority #3 in my life after, family and work and planning for me is critical - that normally means being in work (or starting work) between 7am and 7:30 (I'm lucky to have the flexibility), so I can finish at 5ish get the running done, be a Daddy between 7pm and 8:30, then be a Husband, the do some email and start all over again.

Do you run on your own or with other(s)? 70:30 Own:Others Would prefer to run more with others but it's just handier running from home on your own if you're pushed for time.

Been running consistently for about 12 months now. I'll never be very fast or win any races but I enjoy everything about it. I'd actually run more miles if I thought my legs could handle it.

In the past 12 months I've ran 1 marathon, 2 halfs, 3 10ks and a 5k. I've improved a fair bit this summer which is only right as I've trained a lot.

Oh and i'd recommend P&D marathon training plans for those who have done a marathon already. Find them great and enjoy the variety.

I'm not in the 1000 mile thread but I've done 1000 this year comfortably

I just wanted to bump this up incase some people missed it as I started this thread late enough last night. If it slides as fast again I'll take the hint

Other activities at moment: work & work and somme work.
DO you run on your own or with other(s): Run on my own most the time but meet up witha few people from time to time, its much better running with a group. Ran as a junior form 10-18 but then left the sport for a long time, still trying to make a bit of a comme back now... its hard work.

Married/relationship: Got engaged this year..... Married.
Kids: 0
Other activities at moment: Work. Love music, play guitar badly and not enough, cycling but not enough. Golf but not enough. Eating and drinking but not enough of the later these days.
DO you run on your own or with other(s): Mix it up. I'm in a club and enjoy the two sessions a week with them. The rest is on my own...a nice balance I think.[/QUOTE]

1 marathon, 2 half marathons, 10 mile, various 5m's, 10kms and 5kms. This is the most consistant I've been running.....10 months or so and I'm loving it.

DO you run on your own or with other(s): 95% on my own, sometimes hook up with club mate for the odd session.

Have just done one marathon (conn 09), and a handful of road races since. I had done two half marathons with little training in Conn in '06 & '08

Married/relationship: Married

Kids: 3 boys (aged 5, 7, 9)

Other activities at moment: Not much time for anything between work, family and running. Got a new bike recently so hope to use it for cross training.

DO you run on your own or with other(s): Reckon about 2/3s of runs are solo and the others are with friends etc. But through the Boards network and email I feel I benefitted from sharing details of my running this year.

2009: 2 marathons this year, inc. a PB in my last (18th marathon for me in total). Also PBed in 10k. Ran a hatful of hill runs which has benefitted my other running generally.
