I just connected my Strava account a couple days ago and interestingly I ran well more than any other year when I hunted the 100x100. Most of my runs are in the 5-10 mile range, but I raced a 25k and a 20k plus did many long training runs.
This is super. You should be in awesome shape for upcoming races!
I am at 97 runs with 2 days to do. Should hit the 100 now. It is the first time since spring of 2015. Its been a long road to being able to run again, and this year, I also started a decent amount of XC skiing (318km) during the challenge, swam 260km, total biking just passed 1000km (700km indoors, 300km while in Dubai for work and 70.3) and travelled to India+Dubai twice and did the 70.3 in Dubai 9 time zones away.
So being able to get to 100 will be special given the physical challenges for proper running for me and overcoming the logistical challenges.
I think I will end up around 12km short of hitting 800km of running if the next few days go OK. I would need 46km in 48 hrs to get to 800km and I am not risking piling on mileage just to hit a number. Next year, 800km should be pretty easy. Mainly body is working better.
