Run 100 miles in September

I have set the goal to run 100 miles in a month a few times and haven't achieved it yet. I am going to try to do it again for September. I know it is about a week away, but I wanted to get it out there and see if anyone wanted to join me. Either way I am determined to do it this time. 25 miles a week shouldn't be so bad.

Awesome goal. How do you think you are going to break it up? I'm currently doing 3/5/3/rest/7, next week is 3/6/3/rest/120

I have run 3 half marathons this year and figure for this last one I want to go in more prepared. I am never properly trained up to the mileage. I have a 4th one October 20th, so I will have long run days once a week. 8, 9,10, 11 in September. So likely I will divide 3 more runs up that week, and add it to the long run to make 25. 6/5/6/rest/8 maybe the first week. 5/6/5/rest/9 second week and so on.0

Nice. I'm following Hal Higdon's Novice Marathon program right now and when I started it I was kinda taken aback by the 3 mile runs during the week (they felt short). Now though I look forward to the shorter runs as a chance to work on speed, and in just a few weeks I was seeing my mileage increase dramatically. I started on week 4, last week I ran my first 13.1 distance (but was only scheduled for 10!)0

That's a great goal! I would love to try for the 100 this month myself but we took off a week to work on the new house my bf purchased and I doubt I'll get much running done that week considering all the work we have to do. I would love to do it before the year is out so maybe I'll try for October. The closest I got was in June when I ran 89.9 miles.0

I think I can do this because I'm training for a half in October as well I'm also doing a 14k in September.0

Any other takers? (Shameless bump)0

I think I may try as well but may do 4 miles every day, no rest. My goal on Dec. 30, 2012 was to run at least 2 miles every day of 2013. I ran for 125 days straight and one day I decided to stop. Not sure why?
Lets do it.0 -
Oh for sure, 25 miles a week is easy...cause I'm training for my 3rd marathon :happy:0
-
I will try this... Good challenge and like you I haven't managed it yet.0

Same here!
Also, would be kicking it off with a half on September 1st. I'm in!0 -
I'm supposed to run 124 miles in september for marathon training, but also have to travel a lot for work this month, so I'm in for the challenge of making all my miles despite travel (and jet lag...)0

I'm in I'll give it a go it's my birthday and wedding anniversary in September so that can be my present to myself. I'm a reasonably new runner but I think it's doable the way I'm going.0
-
Ok - I will try this! I am a pretty new runner... am going to be doing the Hot Chocolate Run in Chicago in Nov - so a steady schedule of running will help... now just to figure out a schedule.... will keep following this post to see what others are doing.
This is also my birthday month and I have a wedding in a diff state... but I can do this!0 -
I'm in too! Training for my second marathon right now and am at the halfway point this, so 25 miles a week or more has become standard!0
-
I'm in!! I ran over 100 miles in May and June, but not in July or August. Would like to challenge myself again!!! Currently training for the Baltimore Half - Oct 12!!!0
-
I'm game. Training for a half marathon in October so this is a good goal for me to shoot for.0
-
I'm game! I currently do 10+/R/3/R/5/3/R and I'm training for a half marathon for the end of September. It is a cool goal to have! Wish I'd thought of that sooner0
-
I'm in, I did 145km last month, only up to 110 in August though. (Not gonna do the math just now).
So 100 miles ought to be achievable, but not a piece of cake :bigsmile:
Currently i usually run 5,R, 8, 5, R, 18, R (km that is), but am wanting to up it a bit...
ETA: anyone on Nike+? - I am thinking of setting up a challenge... (Schoggifroeschli)0 -
Great goal! My goal for September is 60 miles and 13.1 of them will be completed at my first half marathon on September 1st0
