last year I had a New Years goal of running 2016 km. I didn't actually think for one minute that I would as I'm crap at anything like resolutions. It wasn't until close to the end of the year that I realised I only flipping did it!!! This equates to 1252 miles. I'd like to do more this year but I don't like setting high expectations and then fail!!!
I subscribe to Trail running magazine and in yesterday's there is a cool thing you can sign up to for running 1000 miles in the year:
I think this is a great and doable goal to have but I would say it's definitely for those who have been running a while. I'm going to sign up and it would be good to spur each other on. There is a cool progress tracker too. It equates to just 19.2 miles a week.
Let's take 2017 and nail it
Happy panthering

Very nice! I've signed up for a 1017 km challenge with my running app, but considering the fact that I plan to significantly up my mileage this year, 1000 miles is interesting.
I'm sure you'll do really well. Realistic goals are good.
A few days ago I also wrote to the people behind the monthly virtual 100 mile runs and suggested they did a fancy medal for 1000 miles in a year. Haven't heard back so it's prob not going to happen, but I thought it would be cool (and probably also a nice little earner for them)
Wow ju- ju, that's a lot! I had a goal of 600k in 2016 and did over 700, so I've set myself the goal of 800k this year.......might get to the dizzy heights of miles one day......😄
Good luck, here's to ticking down those kilometres and miles!😄
I set my 2016 goal at 1250k and ended up at about 1300k... so I thought that 1500k might be a good goal for 2017... then someone reminded me that 1600k = 1000miles... so just another 300k from last year!!! Well we'll see!!!
Congratulations, that's a great year's running. I managed 2663km/1654 miles last year - neither of which is easy to "round up" to a new target for 2017. I might try for 2743.2km, which is a nice three million yards.
I did a streak of 72 days in the Summer but streaking's not really for me - I'm not as dedicated as some and ended up a) neglecting strength work and b) running too many slowish 5ks - one of my sillier personal rules is that I never run for less than 5k.
My usual week is long run, tempo run, interval/hill run, parkrun with a very occasional bonus run - either on a "non-running" day or as a "double".
very sensible... I am embarking on a streak but I regularly do a slow 1 mile on 'rest' days combined with strength training...so far that seems OK but I am desperate to up my speed this year so lets see....
Sorry just spotted this. I do one from trail running which is 10 minutes daily but I tend to do more like 3 times a week. It's a combo of plank, push ups, squats, lunges and some leg swinging!!!

10 miles - finally!
10 miles - yaaaaassssss!
Don't run > 20 miles a week is a myth?
