Is there any criteria to achieving mileage milestones?
After reading many threads about the bumps and eating on the fly I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing it right. At weekends my 12 year old son and myself often do between forty and fifty miles and I also do the same kind of miles riding solo midweek when my shifts allow. My average speed with my son never gets above 10 mph and my midweek average speed never gets above 14. I also stop for a rest when I feel that I or my son need one so a weekend run may last for seven hours, including breaks and the same mileage midweek may take four to five hours hours.
My point is does is there a minimum average speed or a maximum time for a run to qualify as legitimate miles?
