I’d just prefer to get up and get after it rather then putting it off.
#30 day running challenge calendar full
“So I am notoriously a morning person, young fam, full time job. So we asked Max how he approached his fuelling, recovery and general morale for the month of January. Now thankfully for Max, being Head of Sales for a nutrition company has its advantage when you attempt to take on crazy challenges like the calendar run. All the guys at work were then cracking on with Festive 500 – it inspired me further to think I could cover that 500 but in Jan.hmmm! I didn’t really think about checking the long range forecast for January but by the time things got bad, it was too late, I’d committed” It seemed bonkers, but possible, and being that the world is upside down with no competitions yet a competitive nature to attend to a seed was sewn. An article on ‘ the calendar club, the most pandemic-y run challenge yet’ popped up.
“It was just after my Everest challenge I sat reading an article on The Morning Shakeout, a weekly feed by Mario Fraioli (get subscribing if you aren’t). So the next question is why? We went straight to the horses mouth for this one. Most runs were completed before the sun had even come up. He fit this in around a full time job and helping to home-school his kids. Max is not a full time athlete with hours to recover.All daily distances were completed in one single run.This was completed in one of the coldest, iciest & grimmest January’s we’ve seen for a while.
All joking aside, this is a challenge of epic proportion, especially when you consider a few very important things: Now this all seems very do able until maybe half way mark for a keen runner, but then when you consider that from day 21 you have to run 10 half-marathon (and more) for back to back consecutive days and that the final 3 days alone consist of 90km of running you can quickly start to conjure up an image of the state of Max’s feet by the time he reached February. So 1st January= 1km, 2nd January =2km and so on and so forth.
For those that don’t know, the Calendar Run Challenge is when you run the number of kilometres to correspond with the date of the month.
