You need to concentrate on hours in the saddle and progress in terms of power output.
This measure of miles is largely meaningless.
I must not be a true rider. I measure training and racing in my log book by time and zone. If I forget to switch the computer head between bikes or I ride my vintage Raleigh I log the miles in the back of my log book. At the end of the year I want to know how many miles I have ridden. My non riding friends don't understand "hours in the saddle or rides on the trainer" they can relate to miles and where that would have taken me. Incidently, I have about 2,750 miles to date.
OP, nice job to so far and keep on keeping on.
