2021 - 1000 mile challenge - year 12

robinph

I think this now makes the thread a moody teenager as we start with year 12 of the 1000 mile challenge, the 2020 thread can be found here, but you'd have to be nuts to want to go back to 2020.

The new 2021 version of the Google Docs spreadsheet can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1emZhVLT-NdMgOVZEYopFcFSctkxeAeft4_pi66uTklU/edit#gid=9

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 and don't forget to update that if you've passed a significant date as I just copied and pasted from the previous years spreadsheet. 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.

As always, there will be somewhere that I have messed up with the calculations with the number of days in the year or having the wrong year in one of the lines. I tried to find them all, but let me know if you spot an error and I'll get it fixed.

Thanks for the work on this.

Positions tab not doing anything.

robinph

Hmmm, can't fix that on mobile. Will need to wind up the PC to see if I can get that sorted.

robinph

The positions sheet should be working OK now, needed a couple more rows adding on the bottom for the sort formula to work.

Average Weekly Mileage (in the Enter Total Here tab) is still based on a 2020 start date.

That should be fixed now.

diego_b

Thanks for doing this again, I'll be a bit later getting into it this year as off running for another 10 days but hopefully back to the roads then.

robinph

Another bug just fixed as some peoples totals were not getting copied to the positions sheet. Let me know if anything else is spotted that is a bit screwy with the pages.

Thanks for doing this again. Few things. My name isn't transferred to the totals page.

How difficult would it be to put the 'Enter Totals Here' tab in alphabetical order?
What's the point in the 'Locked' and 'Combined' sheets' tab?

Your name appears to be showing correctly from what I'm looking at and your listed in the Positions sheet. Is it another page that you can't find yourself?

Not sure if I can do that without breaking it, but it would make things far simpler for you guys entering details. I'll try to have a play on a copy of the data and see if it would break anything.

The locked sheet is a legacy from the early versions where we switched from doing the table directly on boards ( :eek: The horror of BBCode tables :eek: ) and it was assumed that people would vandalise the spreadsheet so it was setup to require you to be logged in to Google to be able to edit. The brief bit of vandalism that we had stopped as it was obviously too boring for them to be bothered with so there is now only a couple of us that still bother entering details on that sheet.

The Combined Totals page is where the magic actually happens, both to merge the two sets of data from the Enter Totals Here and Locked sheets, and to then allow the positions sheet to sort things. Could probably be simplified a bit by this stage, but I'm cautious to mess with it too much.

:p1000 miles done.
I think that's the earliest I've reached it so far. Happy to have been able to train very consistently over the last few months. Now, when's the next race?

Murph_D

Ah here.

curtisbrown

Hit the 1609km last Monday, about a week later than last year.

shotgunmcos

Crossed 1,000 miles today, running hard into a sudden freezing hail shower, questioning both my resolve and sanity! Getting to 2,000 miles uninjured will be a significant achievement this year.

dwayneshintzy

Hoping to hit 1,000 miles myself before the end of May, currently on 879.8 miles. Getting very hot and humid where I am though, which is making things a bit difficult. Will be delighted finishing out the year for 2,000 miles.

BeepBeep67

Behind the curve due to injury, but hit 1k this evening and hoping to still hit 3k to continue the streak.

Swashbuckler

Meant to post a couple of weeks back. Hit the 1000 mile mark on April 27th. Was thinking id manage 3k this year but probably looking less likely. Still, very happy with progress...Mileage continuously on the up year on year. Hopefully stay injury free and hit the 2k mark around August

Treviso

Hit the 1k yesterday during a failed session - bittersweet :-)

Comic Book Guy

Hit the 1000 mile mark during today's session. Just over a month earlier than last year.

dwayneshintzy

Hit 1,000 miles on my first run this morning, was 33 degrees and absolutely roasting. Will hopefully get to 2,000 for the year but don't think I'll be keeping up 200 mile months over the summer

Unthought Known

Hit 1,000 on 29 May during a disappointing DNF in the London to Brighton 100k. Hoping to reach 2,000 this year if planned marathon goes ahead.

Laineyfrecks

Hit 1,000 miles today on a glorious sunny morning! Happy with my training, hopefully the next thousand miles are just as good!

TFBubendorfer

Better late than never - crossed the imaginary 1000 mile line today

The Black Oil

998.45 yesterday. Bah. :pac: 1008.6 today. Last year it wasn't until August.

Murph_D

1,000th mile today. 10 days earlier than last year.

Jakey Rolling

Passed the 1000 miles somewhere along the Galtee Mountain ridge today - making the most of the fine weather. A couple of days later than my last effort in 2019. Hopeful I'll squeeze in another 1000 before year's end if weekly consistency improves.

ariana`

Passed 1000m last Thursday, a month earlier than last year.

Unknownability

Seeing this pop up reminds me that I past 1,000 miles sometime in the past week, first time ever!

opus

Got over the 1k mark during the week, not training for Comrades has certainly caused my mileage to drop not that I'm complaining!

partyguinness

On 1572km for the year which is 972miles so will break 1000miles later this week. I did miss 10 days back in March with a slight calf strain so should have passed 1000 last week.

Supercell

Hit 1000 miles for the first time ever earlier this week, pretty chuffed, I think the lack of races in the last while has resulted in me not overdoing it in training and remaining injury free as a result. There's a lesson there somewhere..

Reg'stoy

Passed a 1000miles yesterday during a very, very, very warm run. If it wasn't for the Laura Lynn challenge I reckon it would be around December same as last year before I would have reached the 1000miles, hope to pass 3000k for the year legs willing.

robinph

Totally accidental, but just missed passing 1000 miles today by 0.08 of a mile.

I'm glad about that though as today all I had time for was 40 minutes on the treadmill at the gym whilst the kids was doing some other sports class. Means that I will now be able to clock up the 1000 during an actual "proper" run now.

Dubh Geannain

Passed 1000 either last night or during todays run. Just over 2 months earlier than last year.

RunRoryRun

Passed 1000miles on a long run on 26 August. Most consistent year of running I've ever had. Won't hit 2000, but something to aim for in 2022. :)

Poncho1964

Pased a 1000 mid September. 1st time ever!!

Kander

Forgot to update this till now. Managed the 1000 in the last week of August. On track for my second highest distance in a year to date. Putting me in a good place for next year :)

diego_b

Hit 1000 miles Saturday morning last during parkrun, 2-3 months later than previous years but after starting the year with a frustrating calf injury means the mileage will be lower than other years but hopefully in a better place end of this year than I was back in 2020 (injured the calf in November 2020).

curtisbrown

Hit 3,000 miles yesterday evening

That's some mileage 😮

Bananaleaf

I made it to 1,000 miles this evening 😊

Well done! :)

Your post triggered me to go check my Strava. I'm now at 1047 miles this year -- passed the 1000 mark without realising it!

Murph_D

2,000 miles today, hit the number during post-parkrun cooldown. A couple of weeks later than last year, but not bad in a year with no marthon training.

woody1

1000 miles last night, usually do 1500 a year but this year went for the bit extra, busy november december trying to get it over the line before xmas

RacoonQueen

Horrendous year for me between 3 - 4 months of injury, finishing college and then being sick for a couple of months...only just passed 1000 miles recently.

AhhHere

Haven't posted here in a while but completed 1000 miles during the week. Delighted to get some consistency back after a year out injured. Since March 2020 I've been out regularly.

Have tried and failed to do this for the past 4 years so I'm very happy to finally complete it.

Using this block as a base to push on now.

aquinn

Finished the year with 1,900.4 miles. Delighted.

Highest mileage ever.

Used P&D to train for the marathon. Training went great with 1700 miles completed to get me to the startline. Tore my quad during the race, at the start, so had to be rescued by the Kildare Civil Defense and brought back to the town, not ideal. Ran 13.5 miles in pain, wouldn't recommend.

BeepBeep67

Left it late this year after a slow Jan/Feb recovering from an injury.

9 yrs of 3k+ miles

opus

Bit of a drop this year for me, hamstring injury (caused by hiking & me stupidly ignoring it), recurrence of said injury & most recently a dose of CV-19 meant a total of ~1640 miles for the year. Onwards to 2022, I'm sure a few races will get some enthusiasm back!

Swashbuckler

Just over 2800 miles for me this year which is a small improvement on last year. Still chasing BeepBeeps mileage.

ariana`

Finished the year on 1,985miles. Mildly disappointed/irritated not to hit 2000 but no excuse really except a bit of laziness in the past 2 weeks and a bit of caution around overdoing it with Covid in the house. Still an increase of about 100miles on last year, I'll take it 🙂
