100km running in June anyone?

I forgot to keep updating this thread - though I did keep going. Running has got so much nicer when it's cooler!

I beat my 50m target comfortably - my monthly total was 57.8 miles. So please with how I did, even though my sights were a bit lower

@stirmecrazy having more time in lockdown I think ... or maybe running from the kids 🤔🤣 just another mile !

267K and 282K!!! These are incredible amounts well done @bigbouncingbaby and @bluebluezoo

12 k this afternoon (2hours) takes me to 8.9k a day in june. 267 k.

Glad I found this thread! I was thinking all the walking was probably a bit pointless, especially as I’ve lost 0 weight. I do sweat like a good un though:)

I’ve just checked my Garmin as this made me curious! I have done 282 km in June 🤦‍♀️😬 crikey

Well done everyone on completing . I did my final 10K this morning to take me over the 100K ( I think final tally would be around 102k for the month as my route is slightly more than 10K) and am I glad that is over!
I have enjoyed the challenge but I think the distances/frequency needed were just a little too much for me at my present fitness level. I will definately still keep running in July but probably nearer 6/7k a time which is more manageable for me and hopefully means I am not staggering around all day as my legs seize up!

I’m up to an average of 8.7 k/day on the treadmill, so 250k in june. Probably will do another 5-10 k tomorrow

I’m always bitter because I am teetotal, how I wish i could cut the alcohol out and lose half a stone

I’m about 2 st to 2.5 st overweight which is why My distance is mainly walking- if I run it will be short sprints. I’d rather walk a 5k than run, even if it takes longer. Mind my running speed for anything over 2 mins is about 6km/hr, yet I can walk comfortably for long periods at 5.5 km/hr.

Plus my joints stay healthy walking!

I did it!!! 100.8k
Had to do shuttles back and forth round DC1 and a limping dog (she tore her dew claw on Saturday so had it taken off - she only limps when she remembers she has a bandage on)

DH not back til late tomorrow so won't get out again - but that's ok. Will save myself for July's 100 

@Brimful - I need to cut down on drinking - I don't drink loads but it's the 1 drink on a week night here and there which I could do without
Plus I am a snacker!

Iamblossom honestly same here, lockdown really bought out the boozer in me! I used to drink at weekends only but I was having one or two G&Ts, ciders or ports every night. I'm very healthy otherwise.

I felt so bloated and gross, cutting it out totally has made a huge difference. Not drinking has eliminated my snack cravings too. Was amazed when that much weight dropped off this month, 1.5 inches off my waist where it was hanging on.

It's worth a try!

Woohoo! 110.5km completed, with one last run (prob just a 5k) planned the day after tomorrow.

Just to mention, if it helps, I've cut out all booze and treats/snacking this month and I've lost half a stone - I wasn't overweight but it's nice my jeans are looser and I look more toned. :) not getting any faster though!!

Well another 10K done today so just one more 10K on Tuesday needed to get to 100k. As usual leaving things to the last minute to finish.
My weight hasn’t changed either . More running but more snacking too so I have to keep a fine balance otherwise I could easily pile the pounds on

@bluebluezoo good going to get to 200k in less than a month!

I keep rewarding myself for running with treats later, so have only maintained my weight rather than reduce it. But realistically I don't have a lot to lose (that last half stone that is the bugger) so I'm not stressing

Somehow managed to get 10k done this morning - it rained, then burst of hot sun to get me super sweaty and red faced to then walk back up the hill through my village
So I'm now on 98k! It's all to play for on Monday!!

Just seen this thread title- not been what I’d call running but making a real effort to get on the treadmill every day and walk/run/jog for an hour, sometimes 2.

Added up my km on my health app - i am very sedentary and if i don’t do the treadmill i do less than 1k post lockdown.

Anyway I am averaging 8.1k a day, 25th june so I’ve done just over 200k?

That’s quite inspiring. I’m still fat though

Anyone else ever feel like that, where each run feels like a hard slog despite being able to do it quite comfortably the week before?

@Stirmecrazy Yep! Sometimes it depends what I've eaten/drunk the day before, hormones, the weather, time of day, my mind-frame; so many factors.

The hard slog runs REALLY pay off in my experience though; they solidly build your fitness and endurance, and it doesn't mean you're going downhill - you'll bounce back on another run and smash a PB :)

Well done @lamblossom ! Maybe aim for 125km now?

After another couple of runs, my total is 92.5! Very close :)

Got up earlier this morning - it was still baking at 7am! Managed 6.94k(I hate that I didn't get that last bit!)
So at 88.5k with 5 days to go

I'm more than a bit glad the weather is going to break after today!

Good going @Iamblossom
Just done a hot 5.5k so along with the 5 I did on Monday I'm now at 81.6k - DH now has to go away with work Sun to Tue so will be finishing off the month running with DS1 who really hates it so maybe lots of hill reps while he watches complains
