Only 2018 clearly:
I’d likely be back as a shut-in, and 110kg’s soon after doing that for a month @joex !

My old runclub gave that a go as a lockdown motivator. Most broke at that 2-3 week mark as Fruity suggests.
My Mrs was sensible and scaled from the start and did 1–>7km X4, which was a really good way of getting in her biggest ever run volume and consistency without overdoing it

I think @ed_m did that challenge, but in miles?
So by the 26th day, he did a marathon, then carried on until a 31 mile run.
To me, it seems a injury prone “challenge” and one “The Internet” has invented for no particular reason.

Not a whole lot of overuse risk in 500km of cycling.
Massive overuse risk in running almost 500miles in a month and 196miles in a week, off who knows what the months before.

No. But my point was that it’s still just a made up ‘challenge’ by a company to get their name out there.
A bit like any race!

I did think that before hitting “Reply” …
… but the Festive 500 is rarely called the “Rapha Festive 500”. It also kickstarted my season massively and provided a real mental boost to me. I got a massive sense of achievement from doing just 440km.
If you watch the “origins story” then it was meant to be 1,000km

I don’t have the run volume over he last year to trust thatt I am robust enough to take on a run every day challenge right now. I do enjoy that sort of thing and have done it before. Previously I have done it as 30 runs in 30 days, each run must be 30 mins to count and you can catch up with multiple runs in a day but separate runs.

Who is going to entertain us with late night drunken rambling. This could be the end of TT as we know it

Dry January is a step too far

Bouncing back after an overuse injury - would have to be careful
However alcohol def impacts recovery, so improved diet and no booze would improve chances of completing the overall challenge.

Seeing as this chap managed this 
Then surely you’d hope some of us could do a mile a day, at the very least

I can’t keep up with this thread. Is there an actual challenge in here somewhere 
Dry January shouldn’t take too much focus, I think I had 3 alcoholic drinks all of last year.

I think you just need to log a run each day.
Not sure if there is a minimum distance or if you can double up for missing days!

As triathletes surely it should be train everyday anyway?
Running must be the worst of the three to be doing everyday, a real challenge would be swim everyday. I bet not a single TTer would complete that.

Rules are dry January
Optional extra for ‘Iron January’ - Log one mile - at the least - each day, can double up if you miss a day.
Probably a bit pointless but nonetheless a challenge
Good Luck!
