2015 Mileage target

[david k]

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, please move if so

So how many miles are you challenging yourself to do next year?

I've set up a challenge to help motivate.

I have selected levels against targets, feel free to suggest changes, theres still time to amend

0 - 150 - Starter
151- 300 - Beginner
301-550 - Leisure
551- 800 - Amateur
801-1000 - Good amateur
1001- 1300 - Very good amateur
1301-1600 - Advanced amateur
1601-2000 - Super amateur
2001- 2500 - Basic pro
2501-3500 - Average pro
3501-5000 - Pro
5001-7500 - Good pro
7501 - Advanced pro

Lots of people could do 5000 miles just in commuting by cycle, I would if I wasn't injured/off work.

 

[BrynCP]

I set 3000-5000 miles this year, and should reach 5000 hopefully but I've had two setbacks in the last two months because of illness.

Next year I would like to do 7000.

This is all non commuting.

You could perhaps stretch your scale out a bit.

Your scale needs to go up higher to accommodate the @ianrauk s of the world. I don't do Endomondo, but I'd like to get back in the swing of it and do something in the region of 7-8000 next year - I did about 7500 in 2012, and felt great, and a bit less in 2013. I stopped counting early this year because the drop was too depressing, although as @raleighnut says, those of us who commute every day have a bit of a headstart...

 

[User6179]

I set 10000 miles this year but doubt I will hit more than 9000 , managed 9500 last year , so 10000 again is the target for next year .

 

[coffeejo]

Can I suggest Uber Pro and Prolific as additional categories?

 

[Rustybucket]

Due to injury this year I'll be lucky to get to 3000. Going for 5000 in 2015.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

How about a "bloody nutter" category?

 

[User6179]

10000 plus - rubber arsed

 

[Rustybucket]

Surely average pro is the same as a pro? What's the difference?

 

[User6179]

1 mile going by the list

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

definitely needs some work...
that puts me as a "good pro" on this year's mileage... and I really can't be doing with that


bloody nutter is probably quite accurate for @Supersuperleeds and one or two other mad nutters...

Would you prefer Very Good Amateur

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Would you prefer Very Good Amateur

given I could never compete even if I wanted to (not that I would want to), very good amateur sounds about right to me!
