    Bit late to the 2016 party - hopefully can get a bit of consistency going & remain injury free.

    Only getting back training properly this week so a little behind on the mileage but thought I would join anyway.
    I should be back up to 25-30 miles a week from this week so hoping to break the 1000 this year.

    Is it too late to join in? I've only racked up 15 km so far and I'm back on the road running.

    Thanks Ted. Just working out my distance ran since I started back. Not far off 50 mile at the moment. Long way to go, with another few miles tomorrow.

    Solid start to the year, 500 on the clock.

    Just over half that at the moment. Not really worrying about mileage so much now, though. That will change when Berlin training kicks in in June, and would like to hit 2,500 for the year.

    Just added myself - better late than never. It has my expected 1000 mile completion date in Jan 2018 - haha! Hope to do a little better than that although realistically probably won't make it to 1000 by the end of 2016

    Ever little helps Spaceylou. Mine is projected to be March or May of next year. Either way, I'm running and getting fit.

    I'm planning on hitting the 1600 km mark this year so I guess a 1000 mile challenge will do nicely.

    The spreadsheet assumes you will continue at same level of running for entire year. If you are starting out now, you might be going out 2/3 times a week.

    As you improve both frequency & distances will increase during the year & you will see your target date get closer.

    I've just entered my details. Alas I'm using a very old MacBook, that's running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. As a result the highest versions of Safari and Chrome I have available are still ancient and so I get the "browser not supported" message. I don't think I did any harm to the spreadsheet, it seemed to save without any further warning messages.

    Just hit 2017 for the projected 1000 mile completion date, it's fun watching it go down every week.

    Well, rather coincidentally (as I only run the miles that my plan tells me to), I wrapped up the first 1k miles a day earlier than last year. Given that it's a leap year, I'm going to call it a draw!

    Hadn't added up the mileage for two weeks but seems I hit the 1000 mark somewhere on the streets of Leipzig on April 24th.

    Hit the thousand mile mark this evening. 3 weeks earlier than last year so hopefully i can increase my yearly figure up to 2800 or thereabouts all going well.

    Running streak of 9 months and change so looking good to hit the one year mark barring injury.

    Just past 800 for the year so far. The half, 30 mile and marathon x 2 in March/April really helped. :) I think I should get there by the end of June (12 hour ultra mid June!).

    Very Latin! Reminds me of kids' TV shows having MCMLXXX** in their numerals. 'Hibernia' is what the Romans called the land of permanent winter (but you're obviously not hibernating). Will have to rename you mille Maximus or something on those lines.

    Well done though.
