Look, fellas, it doesn't take a whole lot of lifting to do this kind of thing, so if it's a 130/130 that's cool, and even if you want a 730/730 just ask nicely and I'll throw it up on the challenge page!!

Don't encourage them! this damn 100/100 thing is bad enough.

Yes it was me. Junk miles will lead to injury. Pushing yourself with bad form..

It would actually be interesting to see a separate post-100-in-100 challenge of 30 days. We all know there's a pretty high dropout rate after the first 20-30 days, when the over-excited and unfortunate have injured themselves or people just decide it's stupid. By the end of 100 days, those who have been lucky/careful enough to get through have generally found a decent groove. Would be a pointless but fascinating exercise to tack on a 30 day period of stand-alone data to see how the standings then compare to the full 100 in 100.

The 100/100 dates will fit in almost perfectly with my swim meet schedule. Nov 9th, then the next one will be Feb 9th so my legs should be acclimatized by then...

Oh....its DEFINATELY Stoopid. It didn't stop me last year, though. I'm just hoping that I learned my lesson, and don't get some crazy idea come November 15th. I don't need that kind of silliness in my life.

nooo!

i always travel mid november and am back by the beginning of the december 100/100.
this is throwing a big wrench in the works.

please please please go back to the original dates!

I found a post after last year's Challenge ["It's not a RACE"]


Also, I'm the kind of an idiot who does TWO of these 100/100 each year*





* took this Summer off, so that's last year's bib

Whatever. I start my 100/100 on September 23rd* so that day 100 is New Years Eve. It's going fine.

*No, there is absolutely no chance that this will ever conflict with Kona. Sigh...

RandMart, don't feel bad. I am now on day 74 of my third 100/100 since last December.

Been helpful to keep me consistent and I have seen about a 8-10 min improvement in my half-marathon times (standalone and 70.3). I have progressed with confidence from very, very slow to just very slow. IMAZ coming up and hopefully I will see some of the same.

I have done the last couple 100/100s with a group of friends. We changed the rules in preparation for IMAZ so that longer runs can count as double/triple/quadruple. Not a good change. It makes the challenge much too easy. I do think, however, that runs over an hour counting as double may be one change we do locally going forward.

RandMart, a summer 100 in 100 would be anathema to proper recovery after races, so I'll leave that in your capable hands.

You're all free to do whatever challenges suit you best; I'm just not a fan of moving the goalposts. I run some doubles year-round to get mileage in - I'll deal. The end of the 100 in 100 now coincides with the last snowshoe race of the 2020 season, so I might have to go get my Howlin' Husky on.

I concur with this remark!

it's pretty clear why we moved it early: because we polled you, and you said you wanted it earlier. but i hear you that you're repenting of this decision, because of certain races in november (and whatnot). so we're splitting the difference, and moving the start date to december 1.

I didn't even feel myself getting polled, let alone telling you how I wanted it..

Dec 1st works. Heck, I would have lived with Nov 15th, but I'll take my month of off-season - I'm sure my long-suffering husband is in no hurry for the inevitable laundry generated by double- and triple-run days, either.

Just to clarify: it's now going to be 12/1 to 3/9 [next year is a Leap Year], correct?

OK, I updated it on the Master, but I'll not bother to re-post

Offer is still open for custom bibs [let me know by PM what name & number you want, and where/how to send it]
