2019 - 1000 mile challenge - 10 years running

robinph

<Big fanfare>

It's now 10 years since Woddle created the first 1000 mile challenge thread and we are still going. For those feeling nostalgic for old threads, and tables, then see here for where it all began.

The new 2019 version can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FeaOJnsGvVpP_6Y-jAqMmB8E_L8pRnxOVtlHlPDREaQ/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. I have manually added the people who had edit access to the locked tab again for this year, and if there is anyone else who wants access to that then you'll need to PM me your Google email address so that I can enable access. I was also a bit lazy with my deletion of entries in the old spreadsheet so if you were in 2018 then you'll already find your name in the 2019 sheet, some of you may want to update your age category though.

Obviously there will be somewhere that I have messed up the calculations due to the year/ leap years or some such. Let me know if you spot those errors though and I'll get them fixed.

The formula for the 1000-mile estimate date is wrong.

The 2018 should say 2019 instead (you edited the first 2018 but forgot the second one)

Please add me

Fixed that one now. Not sure how I missed it seeing as I made both the changes in the 2000 mile estimate column.

Spotted this quaint comment from the second post in the original thread:

I assume it would require trusting people actually ran what they say they ran as a way to measure as not everyone would have a GPS device?

Oh how times have changed. To think that anyone still exists in the western world that doesn't have a multitude of GPS tracking devices on them the moment they get out of bed in the morning.

Get out of bed? Sure you need one on in bed to monitor your sleep!

In again. Hoping to hit 1,500 miles this year which would be 20% more than my previous best.

Kellygirl

Definitely taking part again and going for 1500 miles in 2019. Hit 1452.7 today for 2018. Thanks for setting it up.

Bananaleaf

This year is my year to hit the 1000miles. I'm going to make it happen

Jakey Rolling

Thanks, calculator says I'll be hitting 1000 miles by March at this rate! :-)

Poncho1964

Thanks as always Robin, love this thread!!!!!

RacoonQueen

Doesn't seem to be adding new people to the positions tab. My calculations are that 29 people have added numbers but only 26 people appear on positions sheet.

robinph

That should be sorted now with everyone appearing in the positions sheet.

Thanks for setting this up again Robin.

The 'average weekly mileage' on the 'enter total here' tab is wrong as it is calculating from the start of 2018 instead of 2019

scotindublin

Thanks to Robin for setting up the tracker again. Always one I follow with interest. Hopefully break through the 2k miles this year for the first time.

Hey guys, new to this forum
Does this rely on honesty and filling in ourselves?

Yes, we're operating entirely by the honour system

Murph_D

The spreadsheet is looking a bit broken (loads of blanks in the Positions tab). Hopefully I didn't do it.

robinph

I'll have a look later on to see if I can figure out what happened...

robinph

There was a problem with a couple of names getting missed off the positions sheet, which I fixed.

I think the gap in the listing is just to do with how it lists those who haven't actually entered any mileage for this year.

RayCun

1000 miles reached at lunchtime

a bit behind schedule for the year, but should be able to catch up

Singer

1000 miles reached last Tuesday, somewhere around Omni Park in Santry on a run-commute home. A 2 day PB!

66_Lad

Hit 1000m today during a long run with neighbour...beautiful weather for it.

The average formula is still referring to 2018 if it can be updated to 2019

jamule

1000miles kn the wnd of may, somewhere around dundrum, 1st day baxk at work after jolidays

shotgunmcos

Crossed the 1,000 mile mark for the year running up a country hill into the wind on a 50 shades of grey muggy morning. Usually a quiet stretch but the crows were hotly debating something.. possibly Trump landing at Doonbeg under a parachute while the rest of us watch Air Force One skid to a halt at Shannon Airport

Oh and just under 6 months earlier than last year.. running is fun again!

ultrawoman

Reached 2,000 miles in the Phoenix Park earlier today

TFBubendorfer

I'm half the man of ultrawoman .... 1000 miles done today and I felt like it, too!

Jakey Rolling

Popular day for it. I passed the 1000 mile mark around halfway through the Donadea 50k this morning. Three weeks earlier than last year, marginally better prepared for Belfast 24hr this time!

opus

I'll join the club, the half marathon in Cork nudged me over the 1000 mile mark

AuldManKing

Just checked there - May 19th in the PP I passed 1000. A little later than the previous year I guess.

Guill

Just joined there now. Only passed 1000K for the first time last year, going for the 1000miles this year.

HelenAnne

I think I have a few months to go I'm at about 800+ (will check in my diary and report back). I'll come back when I get to 1,000.

skyblue46

Passed it on my long run last Sunday. A couple of weeks later than last year.

gaz200

Passed 1000 miles yesterday on an easy run, earlier than any other year.

I'm at about 940 now, so see you all here in a week or so!

Wottle

1000 miles completed today, 9 days earlier than last year.
Hopefully get to 2000 by start of December.

scotindublin

Snuck over the 1000 mile mark somewhere in Chapelizod on the way to the Phoenix Park today. DCM training should hopefully see 2000 miles for the first year ever; interestingly when I was in the Novice group for DCM 16 I barely scrapped over 1000 miles sometime in December that year.

Guill

Passed 500 miles today. Delighted with myself





500 to go..........

BeepBeep67

Passed 1,500 towards the end of June and 30k on the clock since I returned to running.

curtisbrown

Passed 1000 last week, about 3 months later than the previous few years due to a long series of injuries. One thing I am consistent with however, is not filling out the spread sheet.

robinph

Currently way behind where I should be, my lazy gene is just too powerful, and have another 92 miles to go still... But with a couple of short runs this week I'm on schedule to break 1000 miles at some point in the morning of Sunday as I have a 24 hour event kicking off on Saturday.

Barring twisting an ankle in a rabbit hole during the night I should make it.

tbukela

Passed 1,000 miles this evening, about 2 weeks earlier than last year. I've a bit of ground to make up to pass the 2,000 mark, should get it though.

Murph_D

1,000th mile on the Clontarf seafront today. A couple of weeks later than last year, might be a struggle to double up by Dec 31!

Either Strava was lying to me last week, or it's lying to me this week. Not sure which.

I "only" managed to do 80 miles in my 24 hour event over the weekend so thought I'd missed the 1000 mile for the year mark by 8 miles. Now Strava is telling me that I've done 1070 for the year so far and therefore clocked up the 1000 on lap two when I was still actually doing what you'd recognise as being running.

I think I'll go with the bigger number and claim the 1000 miles.

HelenAnne

Hurray! Passed 1,000 miles about halfway through yesterday's session!

Sub430

1000 done on 24/07. Took me until mid September last year

Guill

Will pass 1000k and last years total (1011) during the R&R half on Sunday.
If ye see a loud shout that's me

ReeReeG

Passed 1,000 miles tonight, about a month earlier than last year

chris85

1000 miles done yesterday on an easy lunch time run. Definitely much earlier than last year.
