One of the reasons I've decided to take on 12 marathons in 12 months is so that I keep up my running for a whole year. As with any other people, I find that once a run is over I give myself a "well deserved rest". This tends to last until the next time I feel unfit and decide to run a new marathon.
This week I took on the rather insignificant challenge of running every day for a week (baby steps, ok?!). It was easier than I thought it was going to be, the miles ticked over easily, and I totted up 50 miles for the week. None of the runs were over 10 miles, which I'll be doing next year, but it was an important start. In particular, the Jurassic Coast Challenge that I hope to run in March is 3 back to back marathons over 3 days. I won't get much of a chance to recover between runs, so will need to condition my body to cope with that level of intensity.
I hope to continue back to back days of running into the Autumn - each day felt great last week - but I hope to increase the number of miles I'm covering next time I try it.
I've now signed up to an Autumn challenge - Hellrunner in Cheshire on the 3rd November.
