Walk 2000 miles in 2017

6 miles is still fine though Wiz, it's more than you would need to do ib a daily basis to make the 2000 miles.

SplanK, you are not far from me and I wouldn't go out today up Winter Hill either. Bad enough going for a fifteen minute constitutional round Salford Quays!

Meh, damp ground conditions don't concern me too much, but walking in rain is just depressing!


Ive lost all interest for today now and now treating it as a rest day. Just took in a delivery of some new blinds so should keep me quiet until the wife and kids get back home

It has been a gorgeous sunny day here today, alas we now have rain that looks like it is going to be set in till around 8 ish tonight. Sadly our club run is at 6:30 so looks like I am going to be doing 8 miles in the rain then.

Could be worse, I could have just booked a 2 night stay in the lakes starting Thurs. Hope they get all the roads open with all the snow they are having! It may be a tad tiring running up the mountains in the snow!

I don't mind rain actually, unless it's totally torential. In fact I quite like it apart from the dogs being wet when I get back home.

I'd definitely choose walking in rain over putting blinds up!


Lakes, bound to be sunny indesisiv:rotfl:

I've got a few mates over there at the moment ... its very wet in the valleys and snowy up top. Oh well I'm going anyway. Should be nice on Friday when I go out for my first run.

I don't mind rain as long as it is raining when you set off. Also helps if it is not too hot when it rains too. Then you can wear waterproofs and not sweat to death.

If it gets too bad, you could always go to the pub. It's my default option:D

*update* have walked a total of 441.6 miles against a target of 423.5. Need to do 60 miles in next fortnight to be on target. Pretty sure I can manage that'll

36.25 this week. Has been crazy busy and my hay fever just kicked in so I'm ok with that. Esp since I walked 6 miles in sleety rain on Wednesday. 478 miles on the year so far and need to do 22 this week to be on course for the year.

Good luck for the 25% (500 miles) by end March!

Has anyone got a rough 'mileage equivalent' for the often mentioned daily 10k steps?

About 5 miles according to google.

50.1 miles run this week for me. Which isn't bad considering 25 of those miles had over 6000 feet of climbing whilst running around the lake district for the last couple of days in the sunshine (and snow)

436.1 mi for the year so far for me.
