"Sort of written off this year but a small goal is to hit a 1000 cycling miles before the end of the year I need roughly just short of 16 miles a day. Next year to start doing some runs again and hopefully do a triathlon would like to do a half ironman at some point in the next year or two " Keep us posted on your 1000M cycling target - best of luck! We used to try to achieve 1000M running miles over the year. Picking that back up next year will be our mini goal. A tri is a fantastic goal to have. have you done one before? Mrs | |||

"Training for the London marathon next year, generally try to get about 40km of runs per week but at the moment have an injury so don't want to do the usual thing and try and run through the pain. First marathon but enjoying the training, no plan just make every run count. Longest so far since I started back in August is 32km, no stoppong, no food, no water which is eqaully impressive as it is stupid" What a first marathon to work towards! Best of luck. Please take this as polite friendly advice, distance running requires the body and brain to be well & regularly hydrated and fuelled. Mrs | |||

"I used to run a few years ago although not far and work out daily. I loved running, especially when it was cold or raining. But I’m out of practise with all exercise sadly. Both of my shoulders are knackered so I can’t even ride my horses. But I’m on the the list for more surgery and once I’m fixed I will be back at it all. The most I do is walk. I make sure I do no less than 15,000 steps a day. I love reading what everyone gets upto as there is often new ideas and suggestions. " Sorry to hear of your injuries, will look forward to you updating us on your rehabilitation and exercise progression over time. Can I just say that 15k steps daily by walking is incredible in itself! I have a competition with my hubby to ensure we achieve 10k day and whoever loses each week has a forfeit. Mrs | |||

"I really miss trail running in the UK particularly between now and spring in the winter in the Peak District. Currently I’m doing minimal running (treadmill) but I have a pool on my roof and I do 100 diagonal laps every single day. As it starts to cool in Nov/Dec, I will do some sunrise and sunset beach runs " I do love the autumn and winter for running outdoors too. I also run at the gym on the treadmill as I watch everyone workout and listen to music. I get my fix of people watching as I run. The pool must be a great asset though and beach runs must be lush. Not envious much. Mrs | |||

First marathon but enjoying the training, no plan just make every run count. Longest so far since I started back in August is 32km, no stoppong, no food, no water which is eqaully impressive as it is stupid" 32k/20 miles with no food or water is ok if you've got your body used to it but that's about the limit for most people, certainly if you want any kind of pace. One of the reasons a marathon is so hard is that it is over the threshold that humans can race on stored carbs. Definitely worth practicing/training running on empty at low intensity but you also want to find a fueling strategy that works for you. That aside, a 40k week is a good baseline, especially if that is made up of 4/5 runs. I believe one of the learning points for me running longer distances is that I get more from my training maintaining a high weekly mileage on 5 - 6 runs a week than I do feeling like I have to train long distances and getting the same mileage on two short and one long run a week. Good luck in London. I'll stop jumping in on my wife thread now

Love running the Swansea seafront out of all races I've done nothing beats those views"I hate that area to run!! From the LC2 to the pier and back is a 10 mile run, totally flat and you can see your end point clearly each way you run and it never seems to get any closer. It's a good run to push your pace on but that's providing you avoid busy times of the day. I will admit it's a stunning view though. Mrs | |||

"C is a very active football referee with an eye on promotion in December so that's taking up all the time at the moment. Next year D is doing the Moonwalk in London and is then doing Three Peaks in 24 hours for charity. C will then focus his efforts on completing Ride London for the 4th time and is then doing 350 miles in 5 days in September for the same Charity that D is raising money for. 2025 is going to be busy!!
Oh wow you both have tremendous achievements ahead. Please do keep us posted on the promotion (fingers crossed) and will be interested to hear how your training progresses before your events. Good luck both!
Mrs
Thanks Mrs.
Should be a really good 12 months if all goes to plan but we'll have to wait and see.
Good luck with your running and training. Will have to keep the thread ticking over to keep an eye on everyone's progress
I promise to restart a weekly thread from now on to keep us all in the zone for our training 👌
Mrs"Sounds like a good plan! | |||
