FE did update for me earlier but looks like my kms have gone missing so have updated again, although only 8k so barely worth it. Won't be another update from me till Sunday

[Koala1]

Hello,
I'm taking myself off the totals for this month, as I'm pretty much on taper now for Tokyo and wont be making the 300kms for Feb or be anywhere near!  I think I'm up to about 60kms, so all good.

Will be popping in to see how everyone is going though!

Dammit - I hoped noone would notice my cunning little ploy.

Just wanted to get you all running a bit more this month

[TheCoaster]

30 k more for me to add. Felt pretty bullet proof this morning, apart from slight twinge in ITB, but encouraging signs with 4 weeks to go now.

The ladder is a bit out of whack, so I'll tidy it up. Few names missing from previous months too, perhaps a few withdrawals.

JBR & PP are out of sight!!!! Mega effort.

Just 6km this morning as part of a triathlon brick session. First time out after a few days off due to the body getting run down and a cold forming. Didn't want to push myself into further illness so took it easy. Also been doing a lot on the bike but I know that doesn't count

[PeterPlodder]

10k hill repeats Friday, 30k Saturday and 10k recovery today.

Now for a relaxing week to lead up to the Stromlo Running Festival. Especially looking forward to the 30k Lightning Strike run.

Finally I have some kms to update. 12 hours of running in circles at Caboolture Historical village gave me 93.75k which puts me up the ladder a bit. Tomorrow will be a rest day I think

Adding back in the 6km lost for yesterday and todays 30km Star run around Berowra and Bobbin Head.

Well, I had taken myself off the list, but as I've ended up back on there again, I've updated my totals rather than take myself back off again.  Must be a sign!  But this month will be a low one - just done my last longish run and am now on taper..

Good totals out there again - great running everyone!

2 runs yesterday of 14ks each.. foot held up well but will have to hold off on my hill repeats session today which is a bummer.. but the down hill just puts to much strain.. should be right for the weekends long hilly run though only 70ks to go till i hit 1000ks for my 5 points.. pretty happy with that considering i have had to take a few breaks from falls lol..
Not long to go till the big day! when is everyone planning to taper?  I did a proper taper for two weeks last year.. will be experimenting this year as my achilles gets too stiff and sore if i take time off.. probably will do lots of very short runs to keep the legs moving.. but nothing too taxing.

[greenpointgeckos]

Would be curious to hear what others are planning to do for taper as well... my plan is 30-35 hilly run on Saturday this weekend, the following weekend about 2-2.5hrs then 1-1.5 hours the week before... will back off from 5 days a week running to 4 days a week, then 3 days and only 2 or so the week before...

Glad to hear the foot is holding up well Naomi. But sorr to disappoint you, by my maths you still have 144k to go to get your 5 points...

[Running Angel]

A few people starting to think about taper. Personally I will be doing a big hills session this weekend and also planning a stairs session as I feel I have neglected this a bit. The weekend after I am planning a 40k with my TW buddies. Taper will begin after this so 2 weeks till the big day, will prob do a couple of hours the weekend before and cut back on the speedwork in the week leading up with a few run free days maybe. 6FT isn't a big goal race this year so not planning to reduce too much

hmm i know your the accountant and all but pretty sure 371k +403k+156k leaves a deficit of 70k to reach 1000k Sara lol

Problem is that it is 1 point per month for the 300 in the month & then a bonus 2 points if you reach 1000km. So if you were to stop after 70km you would have 4 points (2 x 300 month + 2 for 1000km). That is why she was saying the 144 to go to get the point for this months 300km.

Don't worry, I will be finishing on 0 points (as predicted at the beginning of this) but satisfied with what I have achieved.

Edit: Just changed "4 mounts" to "4 points"

Absolutely it does but that is not the point system is it? One point for every month you run 300k, an extra two points if you get to 1000k. You can't run more one month and carry them forward! You should know that!!!

[johnnyboyrun]

Back in action after 20km today as i have been sick for the last few days. Still hopefull of cracking 400km for the month
In regards to taper for 6ft i will just chop my milage in half the week before. Training for TNF100 so dont want to lose to many kms

Another 10k this morning. On the taper question, after getting a point December I 've been on the taper since New years day. Hopefully I'll have enough miles in the bank come 6ft day.

20k this morning & adding 32k's that were taken away in the great leaderboard keffuffle.

Taper wise, I'll probably add about 150 more k's in next 2.5 weeks (total will be around 600+), then taper off at 1 week out. Diet will change up now & will shed a few kg's in next 3 weeks (less to carry up the hills) & get into the brown rice, chicken & veges about 3 days out.

After some more days off I went for a sand & trail run monday afternoon, 13.5k & then got up yesterday morning & went to do the same run.....on the plus side it was a much better run than the afternoon before (relieved about that as the calves fatigued easily & were quite tight) but unfortunately I strained my achilles (probably from doing 2 sand runs in less than 12hrs...pussy calves that I have, l) good news is I iced it etc & have woken up with it being barely noticable today but AGAIN no run for me cos I am off work with a stomach bug...unbelievable, it's like the forces are working against me, I'm cursed! At least I can continue to treat my achilles & it will be all good for running sooner, fingers crossed!

Finally got my hill repeat run in.. its a killer of a workout and a couple of days late thanks to my foot lol.. 37k over 1000 meters elevation.. feel pretty stuffed as it was during the middle of the day.. but good heat training.. def running a lot less ks this month so far thanks to continually falling over and hurting myself lol.. im avoiding all single track until race day now.. hopefully i dont go splat down Nellies!
