    Late arrival apologies. I'm on high mileage ATM. Need the encouragement to keep it going during the tough weeks. Last 3 weeks were 100, 105, 80,
    A 70-80 week due before Raheny 5 then a high period again.

    Not ready for Rotterdam yet, I wish I was. Lydiard marathon conditioning stuff now, road race training then off that and a few summer PBs hopefully and then build up to an Autumn marathon again. Im thinking Amsterdam.

    You're Rotterdam I take it? Are you in for the George Foreman cup on Sunday?

    Yup, Rotterdam with a vengeance. I'm having a pop at the George Foreman again, but brought a chest infection home with me from my travels at the weekend, so if not fully recovered, I'll do a long run instead.

    Best of luck with the training.

    I'm heading out for another 6 miles shortly. That should cover any discrepancies. ;)

    1000 for me too. Will still keep track for the 2K. Didn't do any extra runs due to the challenge but deffo did a few I might have dropped otherwise.

    Late arrive to the party. Only noticed this now. More of a social runner, Only run for times a couple of times a year. Recorded 1060 last year which would have been higher had I not torn a calf muscle after 4 miles of the Clonakilty marathon in early Dec and had to abandon it. Did manage DCM and NYC marathons last year which was brilliant.

    Have London marathon in 3 weeks and Limerick marathon in 5. All going well after that and I'll be running 1 per month during the summer leading up to the Dingle marathon and DCM again in Oct.

    Lots of miles to be run yet. 286 miles so far

    I did think of it during the run but forgot to post it.

    I ran my 1000th mile this year on 1 April. :)

    I'm a bit late, but I'll give it a go. Since this is my first time I just want to know 2 things.
    1. Is this is strictly running? I'm a member of a hillwalking club and not sure if the walks count.
    2. Do you just keep track of your own mileage and update the sheet on a weekly basis? I haven't been keeping track so far this year but I'm ok starting at zero.

    First of all, it's just a bit of fun so there are no formal rules.

    1. Personally I don't count walking miles, only running
    2. Yes, you keep track yourself and the entire challenge is entirely based on an honour system. I usually update 2 or 3 time a week but there are times I forget for a couple of weeks or update almost daily.
    3. You don't have to start at 0 if you have a reasonably accurate estimation of your mileage to date

    The Conn Ultra pushed me over the 1000 mile mark yesterday, around two weeks earlier than last year.

    Recovery time for a couple of weeks then a slow build for DCM

    Hit 1k last night. Ironically, it was a 'no watches' predict-your-time club 5k race. So, in the Strava universe, it didn't happen!
