I hope we all have good fun and some motivation also.
I'll run 1500 km
Hoping for about 3100 but will probably be more

Wow, you must be PRO ?
I wish. Team 11 has 2 people who will put up 4000+ miles in 2016 so we gotta step up our game

NICE. I signed up for 2000 miles which should be very doable. I ran 2500 in 2014 and will finish with a little over 2400 this year.

Teams that do well in this game tend to be solid from top to bottom, getting contributions from the entire team. While it's nice to have a couple of cleanup hitters, teams that get a bunch of 10-20 mpw runners chipping in every week as well are the ones that get a lot of wins. So, if you think of yourself a "low mileage runner", don't underestimate how much your miles can help.
I'm signed up for 2800 miles but should be up over 3000 as well.
Ok, I try to be solid low-mileage runner
No more marathons
Since all the teams have a balance in total miles, a team that has a couple at the high end like this ^^^ don't really have much of an advantage. If one of them should falter they may not have someone who can step up to that level. And conversely, a team that has less deviation from top to bottom on their team, it can be easier for a 1000 mile runner to up their game to 1,500 than a 4,000 to up it at all.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.
