Well what a brilliant run to finish my challenge 🏃♀️
Kept thinking something was going to get in the way and I wouldn't complete, but.. felt good thismornin, had to wait till some of the icey patches cleared before heading out❄️
The first 3K my ankles and calf's felt tight..and in my head i was, thinking (have I caught covid) 🙄long story won't go into it 😅
But it passed and the pace settled for the next few K's... Once I passed the half way 6thK I managed to pick up my pace and felt like I was running like the wind 😂🏃♀️
Last 3Ks were my fastest and I finished with a 12K personal best of 1.25 🎊🎊🎊
I'm so chuffed to have managed 300K from January to March 🏃♀️🙏
Just have to keep it up the rest of the year 😜
I'm away for a sing song in the shower 😂🚿💃
Happy Running all 🙌🏃♀️🏃

A big congratulations on completing that 300K for the first 3 months of the year, have a few days off running before the second stage of the 1200K for 2022 begins in April. 😊 🏃🏾 👍
That's excellent Caroline, 2/12K's a week is 24K*by 4 weeks a month =96K,, so just a short 4K to make up the 100K, a wonderful achievement. 😊 🏃🏾 🎓, IF I did it I would run 2/10Ks and 1/5K a week, that would be 25K a week *4=100K a month.
This sounds very sensible and easily doable Alan, but..With my schedule..I often only manage two runs per week, I do strength training on most non run days..
I'm going to draw up a chart around my other commitments and see what I can do..
Ideally I'd like a 10mile once a month and a HM sometime soon, haven't ran one since end of December, so if I can manage those I should be on target..
Also I've not ran a 5K for such a long time..ide like one now and then to work on my speed work 👍
Knew you’d smash it Sparky! Well done 👍. I think I was about 10k under after this morning’s run, so I’m super pleased one of us did it 😃. Hope the song song was fun 🤣, and enjoy the rest of your day.
Elevation gain is the total gain in elevation over the entirety of a run or walk. It's also called total ascent - you can see it in screenshots on some of your previous posts, for example you did a 16.1k run with 43m total ascent.
This was actually a challenge by a real-life running group who have very kindly allowed me to become a virtual member! I was aiming to exceed the height of Mont Blanc, which for the purposes of the challenge was given as 4808m. Quite a few in the group will have exceeded Everest, at 8849m. That boggles my mind a bit.
AHH I think I understand a bit more (maybe)😅 thank you.. I doubt very much that I've achieved much elevation on my runs, they're pretty flat!
But interesting, thank you 😊
4808m !!! Sounds extreme.. to think running EVEREST!! That boggles my brain 🤣
Although I told my mom today if I finish my challenge for the year ahead.. I would have ran from my house in Wigan to hers in Glasgow..thereand back,band there again 🤣
It does nowster (if I want 90m+ elevation in the first km of a run from the door I've got it!) though I find being a weirdo is also exceptionally helpful! 🤣
I just reached 100 miles this month (real running, not counting warm up/cool down walks) with today's run.
This quarter (helped by RED January) I did 484km of actual running.
My approach is to mix things up: 10km about twice a week, at least one 2 miler and parkrun, plus a possible long run on a Sunday. I'm trying to keep up my habit of doing one run of HM or longer per month. The longer the Long Run, the less I'll do during the week. And if I need a rest day, I take a rest day.

Finally I made a sub 30 5k
Why do I love running so much yet it sometimes takes a lot of effort to motivate myself to actually get out on some runs???
