Third year for me aiming to be as active as possible most days. So join me in setting a goal and keeping on track by logging on here Smile. I’ve set a 500mile run target this year to be realistic as I’ve nursed foot issues most of 2021 which really curtailed my running miles but sea swimming and trail running have developed into my passions. What’s your challenge this year?

Terrible at keeping up with threads and also still unable to run without pain or walk more than 4/5km at a time.
Have done 28.5km over the last couple of weeks taking the total to 118km. Not sure I'll be reaching 1000km if my leg doesn't sort itself out soon.

Bit of walk/run 4.5km trail with puppy this morning, she’s nearly a year old & runs really fast but she’s still a year away from being fully developed so we can’t run properly with her yet. My jeffing trail pace is similar toDH walk pace though Grin as I walk the up hills and jog the down hills plus lovely seaswim with friend for morning coffee on my “day off”.

5km recovery run after yesterday’s long run.

471km of running☺️

Inniu · 23/03/2021 11:57

I haven’t updated in ages but I checked back on my app and have done 30k in runs since last update. I will have to look back on my dog walks and update those too.

Walking?

We drove a bit further to the edge of the hills - close enough we could have walked back if the car failed us - and walked up to the Bronze Age circle. 10.4km

3k walk to meet a friend for a picnic lunch, am over 250k for the year so far! So that's well on track for 1000k total.

Hike yesterday up the local mountain. Sheep watched us descend. Hard VO2 Max session on the turbo this morning, then I cycled over to the blood donation clinic for my fifth donation since the pandemic started. Up to 65km done this week across walking, cycling and a hike. It's only Tuesday!

I've got dolmens and standing stones within 2 miles of my house.

Lovely pictures everyone and I’m jealous of the standing stones @TheLongRider, I love a good stone circle😍

SSwimCycle21 · 23/03/2021 19:17

Lovely to see the photos, just a dog walk today and watched the waves in the sea but decided against a swim today due to conditions.

ErrolTheDragon · 23/03/2021 19:26

Our circle was wood so there are just concrete cylinders marking their positions. They make good seats though. I doubt the authenticity of the stone in the middle.

ErrolTheDragon · 24/03/2021 13:52

Today we started at the same place but walked down rather than up, though ending with a bit up onto some access land for a wide view over the coastal plain to the sea. A bit steeper in places, the last few months have been too flat!

15k again bike ride at lunchtime, found a different semi-flat route for my training ride but I did have to put the bike into e-assist 3 and lowest gear for one hill!

Another 10km done for me, 481 of running so far🤩

tizwozliz · 25/03/2021 14:45

I've been walking everyday but having an extended break from running to try and sort my hip out.

It only really hurts when sat at the computer, doesn't hurt when running at all but definitely gets worse after running. I've been doing yoga for hips and backs, no pain there either so it's difficult to know what to try next.

Hopefully I'll have some swimming miles to add to my totals next week Grin

SSwimCycle21 · 25/03/2021 20:32

Lunch break cycle 10km and evening bumpy seaswim.

3k walk, had a migraine so also needed a nap. Feeling a but better now though.

Ringsender2 · 25/03/2021 23:38

@Run1000km2021 i think you can rest for the next few months and still make your 1000km target by the end of the year!

ErrolTheDragon · 26/03/2021 14:30

8km, nice sunshine after a wet and windy start to the day.
...drat, should have been slightly longer but the end of the lane was flooded. Still, I think that's close enough with a few days of the month to spare to be on track for 2000k

I’ve been awful at checking in on this thread - hi everyone!

Still suffering with a tight hip flexor that I’m being lazy about sorting because I know I can - need to get on that. And fighting a mile IT Band issue in my right knee, which I’m focussing on. Did a good quick 10km today though without pain in the knee so fingers crossed it keeps improving.
