There are various types of centuries such as:

1) Metric century - 100 kms (62 miles)
2) Imperial century - 100 miles (162 kms)
3) Double metric century - 200 kms (125 miles)
4) Double century - 200 miles (323 kms)
5) Triple metric century - 300 kms (186 miles)
5) Triple century - 300 miles (482 kms)
and so on.


However, I don't keep track of the number of metric centuries I do, because to me they don't "count" in the grand scheme of things (too short).

I do keep track of the number of imperial centuries or anything longer. And when I do my centuries for the Century-A-Month challenges, they are imperial centuries ... 100 miles.
