On my way to 50miles in June challenge.

[Nwrkpak]

When I opted for the virtual race 50miles in June challenge I was really worried about whether I would manage it. They had a 25 but I thought that wouldn’t be challenging enough.

As I’m a relatively new runner, I’m overweight and just short of 50 I know I need to take it steady and I always have a day in between my runs. So how was I going to manage 50miles. I knew I’d i could increase my runs and manage some 10kms thus would make it more achievable.

Well I’ve got 9 days left and I’m ahead of my target . 37 miles completed 13 miles left to do.

My parkrun Saturday. (3)

My 10k Monday (6)

And I ll have 5 days left to complete the final 4 miles .

Yeah . It has been a good month . The challenge has really kept me focused and I’ve been on some lovely runs . 😊😊😍🏃🏽‍♀️.

I’ve even added a 1 mile fast one yesterday. Was still over a 10minutes mile but it killed me .

Looking forward to getting my medal😁

Well done , it's a good challenge. I signed up for this month too. Great start, but have been laid up with a virus so I think it's gone out the window now.

Can you change the challenge to a shorter distance so you can still achieve it. Raceatyourpace allow you to do that until a certain date. Good luck and hope you’re running fit soon.

Thanks , have just had a look and it's more that you change up. I was at 21 miles until 10 days ago and have done the 50 mile one previously so not desperate for 25 mile bling and they send you the t-shirt anyway. Maybe you could push on to 75!!! - or bear it in mind for next time. Good luck with the rest of it.

lol. I’m not ready for the 75 just yet but it will come soon enough I’m sure. Especially if I’ve got my eye on a half marathon.
