Doubly so if you have a Y-chromosome in the mix. Pushing your cycling abilities can indeed put you in some weird emotional places. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17297#post-240033 Mon, 02 Jan 2017 10:35:11 +0000 Baldcyclist 240033@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is it within 'the rules' to include spin bike miles?

I passed those marks in the first week of October and ended on 4423 km. Will need to aim for 5000 km next year. Also just discovered that my Eddington Number is in the low 20s. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17297#post-239933 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 19:13:25 +0000 Cyclingmollie 239933@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I reached my 9,000km for the year with a 39km ride to Saltoun Station this afternoon. I'm pleased with that especially as it was all recreational. Beating it would have turned it from a challenge into a chore though. So it was the perfect target distance. Elevation gain: 82,390m. Lowest mileage month was July as usual. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17297#post-239931 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 18:57:17 +0000 Arellcat 239931@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My Eddington number is lowly, probably about 25. What counts as one ride? Today for example I did a ride of 4 miles, one of 6 miles for some quaxing and then a ride home of 4 miles. Or do I count it as one day of 14 miles?</p> <p>2016 so far<br /> Cycle 5124 km (3184 miles)<br /> Swim 0 km<br /> Run 0k m</p> <p>I did 33% of my riding in the torpedo and 42% on my sparkly purple recumbent. I didn't do very much riding purely for leisure.</p> <p>Tomorrow I will probably go out to watch the fireworks and see in the new year, so that would add another 10 to 15 miles. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17297#post-239929 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 18:32:29 +0000 HankChief 239929@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@PaddyIrish - there's always tomorrow ;-)</p> <p>@greenroofer &amp; I are catching the 6.15am to Carlisle tomorrow morning to get a century in and round off our annual stats to the numbers we want.</p> <p>You're welcome to join us - as is anyone else.. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17297#post-239927 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 18:26:32 +0000 paddyirish 239927@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@stiltskin, those are some numbers.

Sad, I know.<br /> My only score is for cycling:<br /> 10,800 miles = 17,381km<br /> Those who like stats will notice that is a nice round 900 miles a month. There is no way I could stop on a figure such as 6099kms like fimm.

I've never used Strava but I gather you can use it to calculate your Eddington number, which is quite tempting.

I love stats. </p> <p>2016<br /> Swim 4.34 miles = 6.98 km<br /> Cycle 1537.14 miles = 2473.79 km<br /> Run 834.93 miles = 1343.69 km</p> <p>2016 I was only training for 1 marathon instead of my usual 2 a year due to injuries, however, 2017 I've signed up for the Half Ironman Edinburgh in July. 24 week swim, bike, run training starts 3rd week in January so I <em>should</em> be well above all these. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17297#post-239920 Fri, 30 Dec 2016 15:08:56 +0000 steveo 239920@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did most of my cycling before Easter and ran up a paltry 1,316km luckily its still double my running distance (717km) so don't feel too bad hanging round here.

So I thought I would start a stats thread.</p> <p>Mine are (from Strava):<br /> Cycle 6099km (phew, no round number chasing for me)<br /> Run 1290km<br /> Swim 220,762m. (That's 220km! which sounds a lot but it is over 123 sessions (just over 2 per week) at about 1800m per session which sounds less scary.)</p> <p>EDIT: I know that not everyone is into their stats. This is a thread for those of us who are. :-) </p>
