2017 - 1000 Mile Challenge

robinph

Apologies for the delay in getting the spreadsheet setup, but we're finally live. Here is the link to the shiny new 2017 version:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vJn7MeR0HE1EzddmmelX19pcA_jib1O7aLp2p5lwR4o/edit?usp=sharing

Same as previous years we are using Google Docs again, just click on the link above and enter your boardsie name in column A and then how far your total miles are for the year in column C, or if you count in kilometres enter that in column D. If you want you can also enter you age/ gender category in column B. Your ranking amongst the boardsies is shown on the Positions sheet.

Do not edit any other columns, except for the completion date when you have done your 1000miles. For some reason it doesn't seem to have copied the access list for the protected sheet to the new one for me this year so if you want access to that then you'll need to PM me your Google email address so that I can enable access again, unless a Google Docs guru can help me out with what I did wrong?

Thanks for this. FYI the Average Weekly Mileage is not calculating correctly, probably because the formula still contains the year 2016. Cheers. Happy running in 2017.

I always forget that one. Should be sorted now, along with a couple of other 2016 instances I just saw and corrected.

Was last year a leap year as well? Think that may cause another error somewhere in the calculations. Prize of a free parkrun to whoever spots the next deliberate mistake...

robinph

Seems that there are still some issues with people getting access to the protected sheet, and I'm not certain what I've done wrong this time. If anyone has any clues about what I need to change then let me know as I can't find the missing setting so far...

Edit: Think I may have just found it and those of you who had messaged me should now be able to edit the protected sheet again.

Ososlo

6 weeks earlier than last year, hit the 1,000 tonight. Have been so lucky to have had 10 weeks of completely uninterrupted training since January 1st. Hoping the next 1,000 will be even half as enjoyable :cool:

Congratulations Ososlo. A terrific achievement. I would be interested to know how you structure your training. Do you take a rest day? How many sessions per day? Do you do intensity work? Do you work full time? etc....

Hey, runnerholic, thanks!
I take one day off per week, and run as many double days as possible which is usually about 4 per week. I'm not doing much in the way of intensity work this block, as it's mainly all slow running in preparation for Belfast 24 hour ultra race in July. I work part-time currently so do have plenty of time to train :-) I have a log over in the 'Training Logs' section :-)

Thanks for that Ososlo. Keep up the good work and best of luck in the 24hr. I'll check out your log

Happy to say I hit the 1,000 miles on Monday

Hell of a run. That's gotta be some kind of record?

Consider me inspired by Enduro's run over the weekend!

I don't remember adding yesterdays run to the spreadsheet. Is there a way to check when you made your last entry?

Today: 916 kms.
Yesterday: 916 kms.
Your last update was around the 2nd May @19:03. Google knows all.

Thanks a mill for that. In one way that's a little scary

opus

Went over the 1k mark on Sat on the way to parkrun I'd guess. Bit later than last year as was off the road for ~10 days cause of a dose of something back in Feb.

Hell of a lunch break too. You a banker or something?

1000 miles for 2017 passed this morning on the way to work, appropriately within sight of Ososlo Park. 8 days sooner than last year!

Bananaleaf

Have been out the past 3 weeks with a non-exercise related injury. Bad news today from consultant means I'm likely to be unfit for vigorous training until December. Yikes, looks like that's my lot for 2017

Sorry to hear it, best of luck & take it handy coming back.

kookiebrew

1000 miles completed today on my day off, couldnt wait another day... 11 days earlier than last year.

AuldManKing

Crossed the 1000 yesterday, unbeknownst to myself - 3 days earlier than last yr!

davedanon

Crossed the 1k rubicon today, nearly 6 weeks sooner than last year!

hot buttered scones

1000 miles done and dusted with an easy 4 miler this morning, almost a month earlier than last year.

TFBubendorfer

I just noticed, the formula for the "Year total estimate" in the Positions sheet is wrong. It still uses 366 days.

jamule

finally stumbled over the 1,000 miles this morning on the way back from the coffee shuffle

adrian522

A sun drenched Phoenix Park was the venue for my 1000th mile of the year. A good few months earlier than last year and all going well I'll be able to hit 2000 miles for the first time before the year is out.

TheBigGreen

A very easy 6 mile run at lunch time today to hit the 1000 mile mark.

Jakey Rolling

Brought up the 1000 with an easy trot along the beachfront on Costa Dorada (though my heart rate says different). Actually getting more regular runs on holiday than at home, albeit I won't be attempting any speed sessions.

Will pick up Dublin training plan when I get back, though tempted to give Listowel 6 or 12 hour runs a go while I have the miles in my legs.

Murph_D

Hit the 1,000th mile during recovery run this afternoon, appropriately in St. Anne's Park. A couple of weeks behind last year, partly due to experimenting with training for the mile and other shorter races earlier this year.

robinph

Just clocked over the 1000 miles at about 6am this morning.

Noticed a couple of days ago that I'd previously hit the 1000 miles on 31st August in a couple of years, although didn't enter it in the log for a couple of them so not certain for others. Had noticed previously that my year total for 3 or 4 of the years has been to within about 10 miles difference. All totally unintentional and unplanned, but I guess I'm a bit predictable.

RayCun

Now you say that, I notice I hit 3222km (2000 miles) this morning...

Brilliant, made me laugh

I clocked my 1000 on Wednesday, 3 months earlier than last year.
To put that in perspective though, I'm sitting here watching Finding Traction on Netflix, about Nikki Kimball running the 273 mile Long Trail in 4 and a half days!

there's plenty around who'll be running 4 or 5000 miles this year

Going for 3,000 miles for the year? I'm hoping for a small negative split

Passed 2,000 heading down Chesterfield Ave on a long run earlier today.

5000 km

sixpack's little hat

Hit the 2000 mile mark on an easy run today, well over a month earlier than last year

Younganne

Hit the 1000mile mark last Saturday, one month later than last year, but the variety in events this year makes it worth it:D

MilesMorales1

Geeze I wish I'd seen this sooner. Doubt I'd make it though, I'm only at 507!

AuldManKing

I hit 2000 on mile 17 of my 23m run on Saturday last - just as I was starting parkrun.

Running is just a way of life now

Phoebas

Hit my 1000th during the Dublin 1/2 this morning.

Would have been just on the hill up to the Man o'War. Didn't make me feel any better about it.

Wottle

Been 6 years since I hit the 1000 and only my 3rd time since the introduction of the challenge in 2009.

PeterParker100

1000 up for me during Saturday's half, somewhere on the sprint downhill after the Man O' War pub. Much earlier to hit the mark than last year

kookiebrew

2000 mile mark passed today on a blustery recovery run. Didn't make 2000 last year due to injury but came in 3 months quicker than 2015.

hillsiderunner

Ososlo has 3000 miles.

opus

Got over the 2000 mark on a bit of a jog in Germany last weekend. Can't see me making it to 3000 by the end of the year mind you.

The Muppet

Hit the 1000 mile mark for 2017 on Tuesday last, a few weeks later than last year .

Outstanding going by all of you, well done

davedanon

Passed 2,000 miles this morning, while doing a lap of Tymon with long-run buddies before volunteering at parkrun.
