…for doing this and providing the motivation to train through the holidays. Congrats to all who reached their goals whether it was 200 miles or less and good luck to those still going towards their goals (my ‘challenge’ pretty much ended yesterday as I now get to rest/taper for the Disney marathon in 2 weeks.)
I never ran more than 150 per month so 200 was going to be a stretch yet I ended up hitting 250 and feel great and can’t wait for Disney.
Nice! This was a great challenge and a lot of fun! For most of the month I had not much else going on so I had the time to put in and my recovery was great so that’s pretty much what allowed me to get in the mileage like I did. My goal was to NOT gain weight and to see what I could manage… Now I’ve got a lot of running around to do and working as much as I can, so I’ve already scaled it all back. Let my body recover and absorb all that run training.
Yes excellent work all around. I have three days left in which I hope to log at least 20 more. I am disappointed with my so-far 2nd place holding for # of beers consumed behind Transition3. Current results:

i second that. this has forced me to run when i otherwise would have taken a day off or sit on the trainer. more miles in one month for me. would love to do this again.

Yes, I think the accountability has a lot do do with motivation. I was planning all year on doing the 100 runs/100 day challenge but when I signed up for the Disney marathon I knew there would be some off days before, and especially after, so I was glad this challenge was put up.
i was also planning on the 100/100 but knew i would be pushing myself more with this challenge and i def have. really glad it came about.
are you doing the goofy challenge?
No, it was sold out. I didn’t sign up for Disney until October or so. But I am taking my wife and 2 kids with me so we’ll be walking around a ton the days leading up to the race, that will be my own personal Goofy Challenge.
