So thanks to RunaroundSue I did it. I've signed up for the LeJOG 4 virtual run. It starts on the 17th of August and I've got until August 2021 to complete 874 miles.
So combining my running and dog walks to complete it.
I've just received my confirmation email and there is more information to follow. 🏃♀️🏃♀️

Nor me. I was just thinking that there is a year to finish the challenge. Things might start again before the end, although I don't expect it to be anytime soon
I saw this on face book last night on an "end to end" Facebook page, but I think it's linked to lejog. I fancy doing this too, I thought it would give me extra encouragement and would work well with runs and dog walks. Are you both signed up? I think it it would help me keep focused if others are doing it too. 😊
That is impressive. Furloughs and, unfortunately, outright lay offs have had a huge number of people hitting the pavement. I wonder if the Runner was putting their downtime to good use Whatever the motivation - that is some running! Does it say where in the States?
No thank you 🤣 he gets more than enough exercise. Running is me time. He hates runners anyway or anything that goes past him faster than walking pace🤣🐕
I wish all participants in that Lejog Lands End to John O Groats virtual run/walk all the very best, that distance of 874 miles or 1407 kilometers is equal to run/walk of 27 kilometers a week 27 K *52 weeks =1404K, so 3 more kilometers to make the full distance, good luck to you all.
Congratulations! I’m sure you will easily complete it. It’s amazing how dog walking adds up. I managed 160k (100 miles) in May doing the This Girl Runs virtual challenge with my normal running and dog walking routine, which really surprised me!
Great effort. I hope you enjoy the journey. I'm hoping to complete the NC500 route in the next month - except of course its 516 mile not 500🤣 happy running 🤗
Thank you. In January I was planning to take a year but chasing you in the vitality challenge in spring put my mileage way above what i was expecting to be able to do.
Is it on the "Honour" system or do you have to submit a Strava-type record? I don't have any electronics and really don't want an App tracking me on my phone, I'm borrowing an Apple watch thing for (hopefully) my MC FM verification.
Hi Irish-John, I emailed them today with this question and received a reply within half an hour. Yes, you can simply take a screen shot and email the mileage to them.
Its sounds a lot of miles but you can log your runs and walks. So a combination of walking and running makes completing it maybe not easier but less daunting . What do you think😊
I saw it on facebook and signed up after reading buddy's post. Yes, bling, t shirt, postcards, interactive map , a well toned body and amazing bragging rights! What an achievement it will be - a magnum of champagne will be needed. 😊
I wasn't sure either when RunaroundSue first posted about this. Then I thought I've got a year i love running anyway and the dog gets between 3 and 5 miles walk every day. So quite achievable from my point of view anyway 😊😊
I'm not sure why but I've gone and signed up... I wasnt sure about tshirt size but I reckon I'll be down a size by the end of it! We definitely need a page / thread... I need all the support I can get.
I was wondering about setting up a strava club for people on Health Unlocked. I've never done it before but there are step by step instructions online.
RunaroundSue was putting a post on , on a Sunday that we could post what we had ran/ walked for each week. 😊👍
Yes, RunaroundSue says she's going to post each week on Sunday which will be great. I've just joined the Strava and Facebook for end to end. I think juju set the HM one up on Strava
Hmm you can do a group message but I think there is a limit to the number of people. I think there are about 25 of us... Maybe we can just message on Strava. I DONT KNOW!
Doing ok on this logging runs and walks , but looking at the details again ALL miles count . I can easily double my daily mileage recording all the wandering about I do .
