September Mileage Challenge

[daddy_runner]

If I follow my plan to the letter, I'll get 200 miles. However, I don't want to put that pressure on myself so I think I'll aim for 300km instead (187 miles).

change of plans. no mileage goal for september.

Congratulations, who's the daddy?

I am?

edit: Just caught the joke. I'm most definitely not that daddy.

classic!!

No mileage goals for me either. But if I were to have one, I'd aim for 200 miles.

[casual-runner]

After 60 km in August, I will slowly start to build my base towards 300 km in the end of this year. Major goal for September is to do at least 3 track sessions!

[runlolarun]

I'm in for 150k - need to redeem myself for August and at least match July.

[moof324]

I might actually be in for once! I have >90 miles planned for the month (145k), so I'm going to shoot for consistency and hitting those numbers.

[ZachOly]

I'll join this.

Let's see if I can do 130km this month (PB by 5km)

[MINITEE]

I'm going to aim for 120 KM.

I think it's a bit optimistic with my class/work schedule, but I'll give it a shot!

120KM. I like that number. September will see me working hard to get back at it. I know that there are at least 36 between Haliburton & Banff

120 it shall be. So much so that I have put it on my calendar.

Thanks fe. I need this right now.

Alright, We're in this together. What should the reward be?

Date at BodyBlitz in October?

[Kristen]

I'm in... ran 188 km last month, up from 119 in July. The training schedule calls for 285 this month, so I'd be thrilled with that.

[killerbeetle]

I miss running! My goal is to get back out and put some mileage on my feet. It's about time I wore out these shoes. I've had enough of my sucky lungs.

OK! it's going to be a tough squeeze for me I think, but I'm going to give it my best shot!

Pinky swear, handshake.... you give 100%, I promise to give 100%

September was a funny month. I fell short of my monthly 300 km goal due to some issues with my left knee. I had my worst race of the year, 50 Miles at Haliburton and two weeks later my best race, BQing at the SWTM.

Run 227.1K, includes a 42.2K and 80K Race.

YTD 2,656.1K

[Jwolf]

September was a great month for me, perhaps my best ever.

330K.

YTD: 2408K

That's a slightly lower total than August (338K) because there was one less long run and because taper has started this week. But it has included several key marathon-training runs (34K long, 36K long, 30K with 5K fast finish, a few long tempos, a strong 14K race).

This mileage for August and September is significantly higher than that in my peak of Fall 2008 training (Aug 318K, Sept 257K with injury); I'm hoping that along with the key runs will be the extra push I need to take those six minutes off my marathon time in just over 10 days.

[HCcD]

I will be in taper and race mode in September with a couple of 1/2 Marathons and a 5K, so will be probably be good for only 200-225K for the month ... though, they will be most quality effort ...

Finished off the month with 306K and approximately 28.5 hours of running ... Had some solid training and quality 1/2 marathons in September, while recovering well, and sooner than I had expected, so my mileage was a bit higher than projected ... Though, it was still about 2/3 of what August brought in at 457K for the month ...

Kinda interesting to note, as well, that my average pace for September was 5:30 mpk while in August it was 5:50 mpk ... And, hoping that it will bode well for Chicago 10-10-10 and carry me through my training towards Goofy Challenge 2011, in January ....

September Numbers:

29 Runs - 306.5K / 28:35:xx

YTD: 2,725K / 263:35:xx

[purdy65]

350K for Sept - less than August, of course, because of taper etc. Actually higher than I anticipated it would be!

Overall my monthly mileage has ranged 50-60K more than last year! Mostly due to higher midweek milage which was my goal!

Managed to get within 1K of my 2009 September total and had lots of quality runs.
September: 21 runs, 384K
2010 YTD: 154 runs, 2657K

[chunkymonkeymelonhed]

goal- 250K

actual- 277K

[Habs4ever]

I surpassed my August goal, so I'll aim a bit higher for September and go for 250k.

Didn't quite make the 250k, got to 236.7k. Still happy with that.

[Darth Tater]

I haven't been a part of the last couple challenges officially, even though I've had whisper goals set in my mind. I finally had a decent month in August - not necessarily in volume, but at least in consistency (should end up with 126 km). I think my goal for September will be to continue with the consistency, and to break my August mileage.

I ran 21/22 weekdays in September. No weekend runs (again).

138 km.

Goal accomplished.

[orleansrunner1962]

Ran 345 km in September -- still feeling strong and healthy

[ultraslacker]

just 105 miles (169km). I took two whole (non-consecutive) weeks off... but nearly all of my runs this month were high quality so I'm content with that. :)

[BJH]

As a result of my injury inspired taper and recovery for Haliburton Forest 50k, I only got 13 runs in, for 154.5km for the month. I'm at 1494 km of running for 2010 so far.

[Doonst]

186 K this month, 1572 year to date. I ran an ultra!
