2022: Run, walk, cycle, swim, etc 1000 km/miles or whatever!

[ErrolTheDragon]

Welcome all to the 2022 distance challenge thread!

Any form of self-powered movement which you can log distance for; any distance in whatever units you like for your own personal challenge!

Last years thread:

https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/exercise/4235852-Run-Walk-Cycle-Swim-1000km-miles-2021-Keep-going

Can I join you this year please? Not quite sure what my target will be, but I like the idea of logging it and seeing how far I go!

I'm a walker, supplemented by rowing machine in bad weather. Last year I just squeaked over 2000km combined; this year I'd like to get to that with walking and any rowing as extra. Hoping to get the bikes out at last this year too.

Starting today as I hope to go on,
8.8km walked

Welcome, @Tarahumara !

Please could I join too @ErrolTheDragon? I'm mainly a walker but did complete C25K last year and would like to do it again this year. Also just signed up for Walk 1000 Miles and Red January! The DC would like to go swimming more often too which isn't great for my step count but hopefully will help with my bingo wings

Welcome aboard! Last year there were several who kept a swimming tally, including some hardy outdoors swimmers!

Gosh @ErrolTheDragon, not sure I'll ever be brave enough to start outdoor swimming!! I like my water nice and warm, well done to anyone who can cope with chilly temperatures!

Hi I did 2500 km walked and weightlifted (I used a conversion chart) by early November. Then we were struck by Covid so it all went downhill.
Did 8.5 Km yesterday to get back in the swing and will do 8km minimum today. Aiming to do 3000km in 2022 which I know will be a push.

I'm mostly a cyclist with a fondness for posting photos of the places I go on my rides.

Covid/travel/my own fitness permitting I should be on the UK in September for a 1200km Audax event.

Hello! Please can I join in?

I completely failed to log 1000km in 2021 as the third lockdown really squashed my motivation. The second half of the year saw me have cold after cold so I've lost any conditioning I achieved in 2020.

I'm suffering a bit confidence wise but going to put my big girl trainers on and start again!

That's the spirit, Zampa!

TheLongRider tends to live up to her name, but fortunately for the rest of us this isn't a competition!

Curious how the conversion chart works, Authenticcelestialmusic?

I would like to join. Am going to do couch to 5k then keep going. Looking for a mileage increase throughout the year. Need to find my fit bit.

I'm off the starting line - 8.5km on the bike

Lurked a lot on the last thread but never posted - managed to run just over 1200km in 2021 so aiming to beat that this year .... not a good start as overslept and missed parkrun this morning!

I think I would like to do this, although I had a slow start today with only about 2 miles!

Welcome all!

I managed 1002 miles last year, almost all running with a handful of shortish bike rides. That was double what I managed in 2020!
Just finished a month of running everyday through December, and am planning to do something everyday in January. Need to get back to the gym to kick start some weight loss!

I'd like to join again please. I had a target of 750km last year which I didn't reach - DH came down with the cold of doom on 10th December and passed it to me - negative PCR but still coldy and coughing.

So anyway 750km again for me running this year with another 500km walking.

I'm going to try for 1000 miles walking. I think that could be hard but I did 2 yesterday and 5 today so am on track so far .

Today: 7.0 km run
Total so far: 15.3km

9km today - a nice circular walk in the next town up along a canal, then the river and back past the castle. It started tipping down much earlier than the weather forecast had indicated so our trousers got soaked but at least it's not cold again yet.

17.8km walked

Hi, is it okay if I join this thread? I do a bit of running but I'm hoping to up my mileage this year and do a few challenges, maybe an ultra. Not sure what my target is yet but it will be nice to record my distance somewhere.

Today: 3.1 mile run
Total so far: 6.5 miles

Welcome all, the more the merrier!

Made up for yesterday's complete lack of exercise with a 12km run this morning.
Today: 12km run
Total so far: 12km!

Thread question, please ... When tallying up distances, do you list it in the separate formats, i.e.

4.4km treadmill run
16km Wattbike

Or just a total, i.e. 20.4km

Or both?! Thanks!

You can do whatever suits you!
