1 will join in trying to get back into it and do using on miles rather than times hopefully it will be a successful strategy. 😀

Ooooh me please!

1200 has been my target for a couple of years. 2016 I did it but last year I was about 50 miles short, due to a mix of things (broken rib, sinus infection, amazing trekking holiday!)

So this year I would like to smash 1200 but don't feel I can commit to 1500. Not yet anyway...

I am also a confirmed Streaker (current streak on 47 days, have reached 220 previously) and as of today have run 96 miles this year.

The first six months will be heavy training as I have a string of Ultras planned.

Although I have a "first" target of 1,000 miles and am on that thread and (obviously?!!) the 100 miles a month thread I'd like to pop in here now and again. I keep to the original 1,000 target I suppose to allow for various eventualities during the year although I've done 1,200 plus on a regular basis lately. Good luck to those aiming for the 1,200..I don't race and don't do ultras (my wife does). Did a streak of 100 days late 2016 into 2017...but won't do that again!

I like having this thread and the 100 a month thread to catch up with people on. Last year I didn’t get 100 every month but did get over the 1,200 mark. Hope to do both this year.

My longest run streak was 7 days and even that was to long for me. I need to have a couple of rest days per week.

Great mileage and welcome all.

Not streaking yet, being careful, my hip has started aching which suggests all is not right with my knee. Will see how it goes.

Not entering any races until my confidence comes back, I may miss out on a few that fill up.

I achieved nothing in real running terms by doing that 100 day streak Ness. Although I did it by doing relatively short runs I know it makes much more sense to factor recovery into a schedule. I ought to pay more heed to it as the years tick by.

Only just spotted this thread :) Like others, my current target is set at 700 as I am a habituee of that thread - but then I reset it to 1000 and then 1200. I like the 100 mile a month thread but usually don't manage 100 every month - but have gone beyond 1200 for the last couple of years :)

I'm in total quandry.....

I want 100 miles a month, but also only I want a 1000 miles a year, when obviously logic dictates, i should be in 1200 miles a year club.

Thought there was already a yearly 1200 forum.

Anyone else interested?
