2015 Mileage target

[albion]

Well I had hoped for 10,000 this year and even if reached I'm far more super plodder than super pro.

With luck I will miss out on the 10,000 mark. I certainly don't intend to increase it for 2015

 

[derrick]

I am a good pro, set 7000 for the last couple of years.

I won't tell you what my mileage is as compared to many of you , you would laugh at it.

 

[Col5632]

I'm hoping for 3,500 next year which is all mostly communting

Got to start somewhere

In 2012 I did less than 1000 miles, 2013 I did 3007 miles and I'm on target to hit 5000 miles this year - it CAN be done and as @Col5632 says you have to start somewhere.

Just out of curiosity re above I ran a report on Garmin for each of the years' which shows my average speed increasing from 17kph in 2012 to 23.3kph in 2014, but my average heart rate reducing from 153bpm in 2012 to 140bpm in 2014 - hardly a Eureka moment but interesting nonetheless.

Yeah fitter, doing longer distances plus carrying less weight - I was 17 stone in early 2013, now down to 12 stone. It's all relative I suppose as if you are doing 5 x 100 mile rides your HR should level out better than doing 10 x 50 mile rides (I think!?!), but everything is going the right way. Joining a club helped me enormously.

I did think it was him, remembered him from the cafe stop on the one club run I was on, I needed the tow that day

He did say you looked like the wind was killing you.
