2022 - 1000 mile challenge - year 13

robinph

We are now onto year 13, and surely it has to be a lucky number and we can properly get back to a full year of racing again. The thread from an initially hopeful 2021 can be found here. This year will be better, right?

The new 2022 version of the Google Docs spreadsheet can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HNEj1SUBgO3WPVCqvl98G8bjlpfjIwRa9P2mVxBBrjc/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 kilometers 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 doing this.

Any chance we could clear out the 142 names in the Enter Total Here tab and start afresh? Most of the names are no longer posting and it just clutters everything up.

diego_b

Thanks for doing this again, after a good day's running (parkrun and a race_ I've taken what will no doubt be an extremely short lived lead!

I'll tidy the list up in a day or so when I get back in front of a laptop.

Bananaleaf

Thank you

robinph

I've cleared out a bunch of names of people who hadn't updated already. Don't anyone be offended if I've deleted you though, just ad yourself back in run. :)

Looks like only the first 21 or so names are transferring over to the Positions sheet...

Pawwed Rig

Struggled last year and barely breached the 1,000 km mark. Hopefully my tendons hold up better in 2022

No idea how that error crept in as haven't needed to mess with the lines responsible for that for several years... Anyway, should all be good now.

and still ricky villa

Rounded up to the number of the beast today. Manchester in a couple of weeks so I expect my barnstorming start to the year will drop off pretty soon

ArtieFufkin

Apologies for only updating now. I thought I'd already entered some miles but haven't checked in over a month.

Anyway, I should hit the 100 mark tomorrow. That's actually a touch later than previous years, but it's all good.

BeepBeep67

1k done, on track for 10 consecutive 3ks.

@robinph noticed that the year-end estimate formula is times 366

Fixed that now, thanks for spotting it.

Finally passed 1000 miles today. A whole 3 weeks later than last year.

Marathon training was sensible enough from January to end of April - I didnt force the mileage and stuck to the plan closely, probably could have managed a higher peak mileage on the plan. The downtime post marathon also slowed things a little when compared to last year.

Wottle

Went through a 1,000 during Marlay parkrun this morning, no better way to do it. Possibly the quickest I've ever achieved the mark. Now for 2,000!

Murph_D

1,000th mile today at Abbotstown just before the Sanctuary Run event. Three days later than last year.

py

Passed the 1,000 mile mark today for the first time ever in a calendar year. Hopefully stay injury/illness free for the remainder of the year to get to the 2,000 mile mark.

marathon2022

Passed the 1000 miles on Strava today, very happy with that.

Kellygirl

Passed my 1000 miles today. At the start of the year I had it as a yearly goal but ended up running a bit more than I’d initially planned.

Dubh Geannain

1,000 miles yesterday. A massive 6 days earlier than last year 🙂

DeepBlue

Tipped over the 1,000 today a little earlier than I usually do. Normally I'm scaping in sometime in December 😄

Nice to get in a bit of consistent running with no show-stopping injuries (so far anyway, touch wood!)

Mileage for the year so far:

Jan 66 | Feb 106 | Mar 187 | Apr 156 | May 77 | Jun 63 | July 98 | Aug 188 | Sep 60

BeepBeep67

2,006 miles today, a little behind the 3k curve, but an injury-free Autumn would mean it's achievable at less than 9 miles per day for 10 in a row.

deconduo

Ticked over the 1000 mile mark this week. Most I've ever done in a year, and that includes losing ~10 weeks of training. Should hit 2000 km hopefully by the end of the year.

robinph

Just ticked over 1000 during yesterday's parkrun. Well behind usual, but still ticking over.

MisterJinx

Past the 1,000 miles for the first time ever last week. That is one of my 2022 Goals done :-)

Reg'stoy

Passed 1000 miles yesterday, during the obligatory Dun Laoghaire to Howth run training for Dublin, it's my 4th year in a row, but won't hit 1500 which I've managed the last 2 years.

Kerry Gooner

Also managed to pass the 1000 miles mark last week.

diego_b

Passed 1000 miles for the year last Friday, 30 days earlier than last year so that's some progress. Was on course to do it around 3 weeks ago but best laid plans and all that!

scotindublin

Snuck over 2000 this evening, a plod after the Chicago marathon adventure.

deconduo

Ticked over the 2000 km mark last night, will probably finish up the year around 2500 km which would be more than double any previous year.

longrunn

Will hit 1000 by the end of this week.

TheRef

I went over 2000km last weekend. That's about 1950km more than I ran in the previous 12 years combined.

Marty Bird

Hit a 1000 during the week, been out for some time with various injuries so a lot later this year than usual.

Mr. Guappa

Plonked myself bang on 1000.0 miles this morning. Failed to reach this milestone in 2020 and 2021 due to assorted injuries, so very pleased to tick it off this year.

Wottle

2,000 miles ticked off, lovely recovery 4 miler with my daughter.

Swashbuckler

On 2220 miles for the year so far. All going very well I could hit 2600 for the year. Still down on last year though.

BeepBeep67

A 331-mile October has me back on track for 3k

Murph_D

Well over the 3,000 kms anyway. Kms are better than miles for this kind of counting. 😉 Should hit the 2k miles in a few weeks.

Adiaga 2

Hit the 1000 mile mark yesterday. First time achieving this in a year. I missed most of january too after a minor surgery.

Murph_D

Through 2,000 miles this morning in St. Anne's park - one day ahead of last year.

T-Bird

I hit 1000 miles on Saturday doing the Clonakilty marathon that never was. I did the first half and struggled with myself and the weather too so a second half on my own.

This year was my fist full year running after losing 5 stone last year and then finding c25k.

I have ran in about 20 events this year including 2 half and 2 three quarter marathons. I wanted to top the year off with a marathon to see how far I was away from running a continuous one. The weather didn't help and that hill at the 7k mark was a killer. But I continued to pace myself to make sure I did it in 2hrs, got my medal and set out again. A few pauses and walks here and there but I did it.

I found that running is the best therapy for my mindset and I feel the huge benefits it brings me.

I didn't understand why people ran and just couldn't get it, and yes, it took me until almost reaching my mid 50s to finally understand why.

Well done, serious mental strength to do the second half by yourself.

marathon2022

Passed the 2000 miles on Strava today, some time last week in reality.

Tale of the tape

• Running time - 270 hours 42 minutes
• 249 Runs
• Average pace of 8.06 per mile
• 63,698 feet of elevation gain

Todays 8 mile was just shy of average at 8.09. Tried to get the 8 mile at 8.06 as this would have been exactly average distance and pace for the year. Might do 22 miles between now and Saturday just to have 2022 in 2022. Maybe I'm overthinking this running lark.

robinph

Fairly rubbish 2022 for me milage wise and well down on previous years with only just over 1200 miles. Started off great clocking the miles off, but then change of various things over the year and working shifts meant was mostly too knackered to run for the second half of the year. Didn't do my marathon times too much harm though as was getting plenty of time on my feet clocked up in walking about at work and managed to claim a fresh GFA place for London. Hopefully can figure out a way to fit in more running in 2023 and keep the marathon place for another year.

BeepBeep67

A few niggles in December meant 3k miles was a lastminute.com, but kept the streak going

scotindublin

Rounded off the year with a 5 x 1k session to top it off at 2511,marginally down on 2021.

Have suggested aiming for 3000 miles at home, that was met with a cool response

That's an incredible run. I've often wondered about whether you race and what kinda shape you're in. I don't know anything about you apart from incredible mileage and an incredible shoe collection 🤣🤣🤣

I had a poor year distance wise, 1'338 miles, mainly due to getting injured in September and that work thing getting in the way.

I did manage 158'344 feet of ascent, I like hills..

Did manage a 2nd in an IMRA race and I did well for my age at the World Mountain race in Clonmel

So I cant really complain !

Unreal running, well done.

Poncho1964

2022 a year to forget due to contracting Covid and then long Covid. Much better now and heres to a much better year in 2023!!

Pawwed Rig

Signing off the year with 928 miles. Given that on the 30 June I had only 650 km done it was a good positive split for the second half of the year. Here's to 2023
