Great Run Solo - Virtual Challenge anyone?🙂

[Sandraj39]

I think this has been linked to before - but just wondered who is doing one of these challenges?

If you've not heard of it, take a look. You can sign up for a weekly challenge or a bigger one over a month. They also have a couple of challenges for children too. All profits go to NHS Charities Together Covid-19 Urgent Appeal. Something to keep you motivated and clocking up the miles, £10 entry, shiny medal - what's not to love? We are all missing our bling after all! 🙏🏅

Hi Sandra, after receiving my first ever running medal earlier this month, I decided I wanted more 🥴🥳🏅 so I signed up for the 75k challenge. 2 weeks left and I'm bang on target so far so very pleased with that.

Have you signed up too? Good luck if you have 👍🏅🍾🥂🎊🎉💐🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Brilliant - good luck to you too! 👍🙂 Yes I have - but having had a month off running recently with vertigo 😱 and a bit of a niggly knee (excuses, excuses!) I have only signed up for the 50k! If all goes well, I guess I could ask for an upgrade...! 😂

Just looked at your last post...the Great Bristol 10k was my first 10k bling back in 2016! Great Run medals are...well, Great!

I suffer from vertigo every now and again so sympathise, it is horrible and so I'm glad to hear you are feeling better and able to run again. 👍🏃‍♀️

I was going to sign up for the 50k challenge too but was finding my motivation was slipping under the current circumstances so thought I'd sign up for the 75 to almost force me out of the door. I'm sure if you manage more kms they would be able to change your entry. 🏅🏅

Wow, what a small world this running world is. I've not done the real thing yet but hopefully will be able to next year, I hear the atmosphere and noise from the crowds is something else 🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
