Join the 700 Mile club or Ultimate 822.7 Mile club 2007

Can you do one level down from those called Veteran (or whatever?) Not sure if I'm up for 400 right now, but 300 might be doable for April.  I might be interested in the Ultimate club as well - but I NEED to base the running on time not mileage as I am ultra slow. 

Any possibility of those types of options?

Actually, this would be the third annual 700 Club.

Yeah I'm in, might even shoot for a thousand. At a minimum, I'll do the 822.7 all on the bike. Running 100 might be ramping up a little too soon for me, though, as I've only been back running for two weeks, and am still tentative and cautious. As far as swimming the 40K, what's the point?

It'll have to wait until after Boston ........... and probably until the Summer for me.  Once I'm into my IM training I'll be up for it!

I'm so on it!

Ultimate 822.7 Mile Club:
·          Elite – 700 Mi bike, 100 Mi run, 22.7 Mi swim (40,000 yds)

Giddyup.  I'm in for Ultimate 822.7 Mile Club:
·          Master – 500 Mi bike, 75 Mi run. 17 Mi swim (30, 000 yds)

Can I run it from march 26 to april 26th?  I've got St. A's on the 29th, which I'm going to taper for, and really need the volume earlier than April.  I might have to pop down a level otherrwise... 

One thing I forgot to add on the OP and as I coach I must point out. The idea behind these challenges is not only to cram LOTS of mileage just for the sake of it. (haygosl count another one ) You should evaluate how a particular challenge fits within your long term plan and also evaluate whether the distance(s) is achievable or not. Don’t go from riding 100 Mi to 400 Mi a month; remember that the whole point of training is to gradually build up our volume/frequency so we can continue our training day after day. Please keep that in mind and use it to motivate yourself to push a bit harder of what you normal would but no so much that you are really over doing it.

We can add one last extra membership level:

No seriously, April 1 starts my 20 week HIM plan but I'm combining that w/ my current Half Marry plan for the next 4 weeks so I'm not sure what my totals are going to look like. I'll enjoy keeping tabs on you guys tho!

As far as swimming the 40K, what's the point?

Maybe your swimming wouldn't suck as bad? (Sorry, couldn't resist...)

Gee, aren't you the master of the obvious. So what level of the challenge are you accepting, or are you just trolling the thread looking for sniping opportunities?

What I need more than mega-yardage is instruction in technique. Unfortuanately, local resources in that area are seriously lacking.
