I've finally caught https://goo.gl/RBHtiS back up to date, but still waiting for a UMCA update to get official figures.
Kurt has been motoring recently, knocking out an average of 220+ miles per day over the last fortnight. If he can keep that up, it'll put him 1121 miles or so over Tommy's record, and leave Steve needing an average of 214 miles every day from now until the end of his second attempt.
If Steve's distances keep low for the next month (he's only averaged 159 miles per day for the last fortnight, which has been a tough one with the new diet, so should hopefully be a worst case scenario) he would then need to manage 223 miles every day to top Kurt (if he can keep up that 220).
To get himself onto the podium for attempt 1, Steve now needs to be cranking out 218 miles per day until the end of the year. This would get him past Bernard Bennett by 10 miles.
All hypothetical of course, but interesting none the less.
