  • I missed putting in last weeks figures so have two lots to add........

    45.30 miles for last week and............
    35.43 miles for the week I missed......

    My chestiness is still lingering which isnt helping with energy levels so still need a few miles in the bag to feel on top of the challenge.

    Gives me a total of 615.06
    Make £10 a Day Feb .....£75.... March... £65......April...£90.....May £20.....June £35.......July £60

    Managed to do 48.6 miles this week taking my total to 723.1 miles. Now 107.7 miles ahead of weekly average.


    What a chore it felt this week though, just really wasn't into it. Knee and foot pain but it seems as though both of those are on their way out.

    Managed 41.1 miles this week. Not bad considering I was away for 2 days.

    Going to be missing some miles next weekend due to missing 12 miles on Sat as i have to drive to parkrun rather than run. But maybe make some of it up on Bank holiday Monday, we'll see.

    48 miles last week - I took a week off work, which really makes a difference. My average daily step count is around 13,000, so getting around 19,000 a day meant I've caught up a bit.

    Sorry I haven't been posting lately and well done everyone. I'm currently at 128 miles for April against a target of 165. So need an average 6 miles a day for the rest of the month. I think I can do it :) in fact would love to build my reserve back up after being ill end of March/start April.

    In other news I'm on hols and it's very hilly here so have done 1153 flights of stairs so far this month. 171 of them yesterday (got a bit lost on a mountain lol)
  • 46.93 miles to add for me for last week.

    Feeling much better after almost 4 weeks coughing.......thinking its almost disappeared and aiming for over 50 miles to add for next week.

    Well done to everyone . I find threads like this so motivating even if its just a weekly visit to put my steps down in writing. :j

    Good to hear you are feeling better - seems 'that' cough has been doing the rounds and lingering about.

    I agree, if it wasn't for posting on here, I'd probably be doing around 1500 miles, it gives me that extra shove!

    Yep, this thread in particular is quite good. Not as busy as others, but enough momentum to help everybody to keep the momentum going! Starting to really feel the miles though!


    I am not only doing it for distance, but for weight loss. I have only just started 'calorie counting' using MyFitnessPal, and weight now its falling off me again! Nearly at a total loss of 5st lost since last year and almost about to break into the 12st range (was 13st 2 last Tuesday). The calorie counting/food logging is more to try and stop me snacking and attempt to control portion sizes.... its doing it job!


    Still having issues with my foot! I don't think its anything serious such as a fracture as the only time it seems to happen is in shoes! I think I am narrowing down the issue to shoes which are not as wide as they need to be for my feet, and causing a rubbing, or pressure on my small toe thus resulting in pain! Worked out if I leave my fabric walking boots looser towards the toe end I can walk in them no problem, but if they are too tight, I can barely walk!

    You can lace boots and shoes to allow for wider feet. May be worth giving it a go.

    Something like this:

    or

    I have to use heel lock lacing on all my running shoes as I have narrow heels and they slip otherwise.
