Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Morning all!
I've got the Fetch Christmas skin without asking! Clever old Fetch ;)
Well done all you RtS-ers!
I'm completing a 5K every day challenge today but that has been running or walking - still feels like an achievement though, and it's given me my highest mileage month for a long time.

So impressed by the RtS people. It occurred to me that I should try and do it whilst I'm still wfh. Perhaps Jan.

Thanks, Teebs. Those blimmin static lunges were the worst!

I am too - I would do it, but I know it wouldn't be sensible!

Good morning.

Slumped on a settee and unable to conceive that I am in fact a runner. Hope nonetheless to prove it later, after the fog has lessened.

Beyond running I have three important things to complete in the next three days.

Morning gonkzillas. 11-8 wfh today for me. Off to the back room in a min.

Planning on a lunchtime run to finish November off. When I say lunchtime, it's 3pm when I get my hour break.

RtS complete, but with a sore foot. Think my next attempt will be February ;-)
I don't think my problem is gout, um, because my foot is neither red nor swollen, nor hot. It doesn't hurt if I don't put weight on it. It could be sesamoiditis, I've had that before in the ball-of-foot, big toe joint area. It should settle if I take a few days off running 🤞

RtS done and dusted and, with 109 miles for the month, my highest ever monthly mileage :-)

I wouldn't normally run 2 days back to back, much less 30 and it was a rather foolish jump in mileage, given my lack of running this year, but it was also more doable than I had imagined, the couple of days dropping back to 1 or 2km gives you enough recovery time between each of the 'peaks' of longer run days and it is a great incentive to get out of the door.
I need a couple of lighter weeks now but I'd definitely do it again in the New Year.
Congrats to the other RtSers - it is lovely to see so many 700ers at the top of the table, you guys rock! :-)

It's been like a branch of the 700 thread on the RtS thread at times! I'm very pleased I've done it. I know for some of you the mileage is no biggie but 109 miles for the month and 35 miles in one week are both my 'highest evers' and I have certainly never run every day for 30 days before. Until my foot started playing up on those tough last few days I was feeling much stronger as a runner.

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
