Update: starting with the 41.6 miles on June 4th I’m at 735.6 miles so far.

@BloodnThunder Just noticed that you blew this challenge out of the water…Congratulations!!
-
Ha! Thanks! Cycling is by far the easiest means to hit the goal. Feels like cheating to be honest.

well, if you're not as … lazy ... busy ... handicapped ... full of excuses ... as I am ::)
but here we are again, another 32 km, adds up to 265 km for me now, way behind the schedule
but I don't care, it's fun 
-
120km down this week. I'm just shy of one third of the way through the challenge. It definitely feels like cheating to do this on two wheels!
-
Add 100km from me. Will post more info to the runners thread
-
32 more km this time with a machine
-
Another 170 K over the past couple weeks.
-
Day 52 and 390,000 meters (390 km's) to go. I pm'd a friend at the beginning of this crazy challenge and said I would be happy to only make it half way. Over that mark and now I'm ecstatic to see the end of the tunnel.
Weight has stabilized at 185, but body fat % is dropping :). I'll take that!
-
Great work @goosehd you noticing any differences in how things feel with a different level of fitness?
-
Better perceived lung capacity, lowered my resting heart rate, better recovery times, and lengthened my workout times. Currently doing 15-20 km’s /day (previous 10 km’s). Been mixing in more intervals at higher exertion levels, with rest days being longer row’s at a steady state.
Today I finished a 27 km row and still have energy left. So far I’m happy with the results, but watching for signs of over exertion and trying to avoid injury.
-
All that sounds great well done. Good luck avoiding injury.
-
Thank you! I took yesterday off because I wasn’t feeling it and it was a good call. Really listening to my body and keeping fuelled (eating like a horse), hydrated, and resting or changing plans depending on how I feel for the day.
Just trying to stay at the upper limit of the comfort zone, but not going too far that I pay for it.

Do you have a system for increasing training load? I've found using the weekly increases of 10% to be useful; to avoid injury. The 10% can be difficult when altering the intensity and volume. That's what I'm working on now, going from high volume low intensity to lower volume higher intensity.
