Struggled towards the end of last week, but managed to get all my runs in, including the longest run yet at 5 miles. So happy that I've managed to keep running all winter. 91/500 miles for the year so far. :j

Due to a combination of a holiday (Belgium – very nice, Ghent is well worth a visit) and then getting a bad cold almost as I soon as I got back I’ve only been out on one run in the past two weeks.

Seeing as I am running 52 miles on 13 July I am slightly concerned! Getting back into training this week though.

The Green Man ultra marathon took place round my way this weekend- they were doing 46.3 miles :eek: They're doing it again in August, this time starting at midnight and doing the same route in reverse :eek:

I didnt realise that was what they were doing when I saw them, otherwise I'd have been stood there with a bag of jelly babies for them

Just over 100 miles so far for me this year. Plan is 500.

Week 8 of Jantastic begins.

Managed 13.6 miles in February, looking forward to better weather so I can really start to get some miles in.

Also need to get some new trainers or running shoes, old ones are falling to pieces!!

Hello, my name is Sam. My running challenge target distance for 2014 is 800km/500 miles. (Joining this a bit late - but better late than never .)
I’m 45 and consider myself to be reasonably fit. I’ve been running on and off for about 6 years. Last year I was running about 10 ½ minute miles, then I put on about 2 stone, and I’m now closer to 12 minutes L. (So maybe not as fit as I think!)
This year I’m trying to run in as many of my local 10k races as possible, and have also organised a 2 teams in my work to run in the Belfast Marathon Relay. (I’ll be running 2 legs of it, totalling about 9 miles.)
I have a spreadsheet (bit of a spreadsheet fan myself), which even includes trainer mileage!! I’ve been using walkjogrun.net to log my runs since.
2014 (so far) 112 miles
2013 420 miles
2012 491 miles
2011 305 miles

After not going out running properly for two weeks (was it really that long?!), I was back out tonight, 3 x 5 mins, including twice up a little hill :j

Any route that isn't totally flat is my nemesis, so this is good for me

Just got back from a 5k / 30min recovery run, after the 16k on sunday. While I was out, got to thinking about where I was a year ago. (My mind wanders alot when I am out!!)

On week 2 of couch25k, telling myself to give up as I would never be able to do this.... hopefully that might encourage someone, if I can do it, anyone can!
