Welcome to this year’s 700 thread: 700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient
Training goals: Don’t cry, don’t die

Useful links to setting targets and the 700 league table below. Reach 700 miles and we will heap you with with extra points for bins. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

If you do overachieve, please bask then reset your target so everyone gets a spot in the sun
