Oh heck, I’ve just seen this challenge. Run/walk the length of the UK in 12 months. So tempting to try, just trying to figure out how many weeks I would miss due to inclement weather or injury and thus how far I’d need to go each week to make it. Would definitely be a challenge.

Good luck to you. I'm most of the way through the virtual NC500 route which is just round the coast of Highland Scotland - a tad over 500miles. Long distance challenges are great as every run counts towards total. Happy running 🤗

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

This one is 874 miles, but walking counts as well as running. That’s the only reason I’m even considering it. Still on the fence, I’ve until Sunday night to decide I think.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to Kat332zz]

Good luck with your deciding. 12 months is doable especially as you're a 10k graduate and can include walking.

How do I sign up for this?

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to SlowMo500]

Not sure if it’s still open, started yesterday but I think if you click the link at the top it will direct you to the page. It’s Lejog End to End if that doesn’t work.

[SlowMo500 in reply to Kat332zz]

Thanks 👍

I fancy a 500 mile challenge mainly so I’ve an excuse to play the proclaimers on a loop during my runs 😂

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63]

I don’t care it’s on my playlist anyway🤔 though not on a loop

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63]

For sure, I run naked but maybe for my last mile in the challenge I should have them blasting out🤣

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate in reply to Grannyhugs]

🎶 I would run 500 miles... 🎶

Oh dear , oh dear. This is seriously tempting.

Looking at my weekly steps total which calculates distance I think we can easily do this as long as we remember to switch on the garmin every time we go for a walk.

But I would like to point out that you appear to be doing it backwards ( the webpage says Lands End to John O'Groats)

[Madge50 Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

😂we can meet in the middle........🏃‍♀️.......go on.........do it, do it, do it! 😄

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to Madge50]

Ok, ok I’ve done it. I’ll do the direction they let me, it’s just I was brought up near John o Groats so that always comes first in my mind!

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to Madge50]

Just signed up.

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

Well done. I still think it should be my direction, then we could have JoG to Lands End!

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to Kat332zz]

You are right!

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate]

I saw that too! I love a good cumulative challenge but that one is beyond my capabilities 😳 go for it 👍 good luck

[Kat332zz Graduate10 in reply to ForestGrump63]

It seems almost doable at the moment, sunshine, long days, semi lockdown but not sure what I’ll think come mid winter.

[ForestGrump63 60minGraduate in reply to Kat332zz]

Yes good point
