Because so many of us are becoming obsessed with this challenge and getting the miles in, I thought I would share a story from the book I'm reading. It's about Fred Lebow (the mastermind behind the NY marathon).
He was obsessed wiyh getting the miles in and one year he set himself the target of 2500 miles for the year, at the end of that year while on a plane, travelling to see his girlfriend for a new years eve party, he started to look through his training logs and when counting the miles back he realised he was 19 miles short of his target. So when he got to his girlfriends house he decided to go on a 20 mile run, one extra mile just in case the 19 wasn't enough. His girlfriend was very annoyed as she had his suit out and ready to go for the party, he came back from his run 2 hours later, so they were 2 hours late for the party. Later that night he couldn't find his girlfriend and he was told she had gone home already. He couldn't get a taxi so he ran to their apartment only to find his bags packed and a note in the hall. The note said its over but it also said that she had gone through his log and that he had added the milage wrong and had in fact run 2531 miles for the year not including the 20 he did that night of the party. I think theres a lesson there for most of us, at least for me anyway and my dear wife I promise to make more time

There's a great excel sheet here that tracks everything from the miles run per month, week, year, session type, miles run in different shoes (my favourite thing about it). You can record races... plently of other stuff in there that I don't look at - weight, heart rate and so on and so forth....0 -
