Here
You predict how many runs you will run each week, and get points for sticking to that prediction. (you lose points for being over as well as under)

Just signed up myself now also...
Will probably need reminding to update data for the first week or two so can you be sure to give this a bump if required on the Monday morning Vagga??

glennhysen

Great stuff, I listen to Marathon Talk every week!

RayCun

The boards.ie team expects every one of you to do your duty!
100% Not a run more, not a run less!

petermijackson

Do you loose points for over achieving?

I'm not sure, I've just asked on the forum. I know you do in the Marchvelous thing when you have to target a race time...

RayCun

Okay, there's no problem with doing extra runs, you don't lose any points

captain P

Don't think I'll have to worry about extra runs!

I might have to withdraw from the team .

The injury I thought was fixed seems to be acting up again:mad:.
I'll try a short slow run tonight and if it's still the same I'll email them to take me out of Jantastic.

You haven't missed any deadline that I can see. you're showing up in the team, and you have until next Monday (?) to log this week's runs.

My mistake. Having had another look I realise that I read it completely wrong and was just being stupid

RayCun

log those runs people...

JosDel

Signed up today, I'm a regular listener.

tHE vAGGABOND

We have a good group there now..

Even if it provides a tiny amount of extra motivation on freezing cold days, it all helps

But your all wasting your time, as Im clearly going to finish top of the table

neilc

Last chance to log this weeks runs.

JosDel

Got my 33% for January (:

Murta

Febulous not looking good for me. Sprained my Posterior Tibial Tendon in left leg. Combo of things - using work & walking boots over past few weeks without my orthotics (especially long walk on Sunday). Breaking to a halt during speed session on Mon - loose dog stopped in front of me causing me stop suddently forcing body weight forward and back while left leg extended. Also, increased mileage maybe a contributory factor. The largest factor in hindsight is all the walking done in shoes without my orthotics.

Last chance to log last weeks runs...

MisterDrak

Currently on MarathonTalk episode 127 (June 2012), sounds like there is going to be a great Olympics in London this year. Kenyan 1,2,3 in the marathon, but no chance for Mo in the 5 and10K ???

beeduybe

Reminder that tomorrow is the first day of this years challenge so get logging those runs

January - set a target for the number of runs you'll do each week
February - number of runs and the distance of your longest run each week
March - number of runs, longest run, and an estimated time in a race

average_runner

Signed up for this. 4 runs for this week as physio said cut back.

belcarra

I was on board this last year but to be honest I didn't find it all that great.
IMHO the 1,000 mile table on here is much better to get you out there running in the cold/wet weather of Winter.

William72

signed up to this - not entirely sure why but i guess the more motivational (guilt) tools the better

RayCun

get those runs logged...

opus

Any sign of a boards Jantastic team this year?

I took the silence to mean no Anyway I've set up a team called 'Boards.ie' if anyone would care to join - www.jantastic.me

average_runner

Enjoyed it last year but currently have a torn hamstring so out for a while.

tHE vAGGABOND

Changed team and joined boards team..

A whole 3 of us in there at the minute

Only set personal target at 3 for now, as getting out at all is a wee struggle tbh, can always change if needs be

opus

Checked it just now & we're up to four *but* need to have at least six to even be classed as a small team, seems any team with < 6 people is classed as incomplete. Still seven days to round up a few more members!

That was myself, could be a bit of crack and may help on those days you don't wanna get out because of the team element.

wrstan

oh the guilt, the guilt!
I'm in at #5

I should warn you though, I have never consistently achieved 5 runs per week, but no point in understretching yourself now is there!

#6, #6, we neeeeeeeeeeed you!

Reporting for duty

Should help with motivation on the cold rainy days
