Run 1km on 1st January
Run 2km on 2nd January
Etc …
496km total distance ran as;
n(n+1) / 2, where n=31
I’m going to see how far I can get.
Retiring a couple of pairs of shoes in the process.
The logistics is tricky, but walking and split days count, so that’s nice.

Might wait until February
Shit - it’s a leap year this year

EJC might have something to say about it.
I’d love to try it.
Proper runners would do it in miles of course

I’m already out. While I’m sure I must have walked over 1km yesterday, it’s not on Strava

I would have been in but it started yesterday. No point now.

Yeah I was inspired after seeing your run yesterday and will tentatively give it a go.
I guess it’s fine until week three when it becomes a true slog. Split runs will help - it’ll be awful from Monday the 22nd onwards
I enjoyed seeing @explorerJC advent run but that looked bad enough!

Seriously though, I ran once in December and the was NYE. Just need to get back to regular running for a few months and then will give something like this a go, June might be a good time for it.

the advent challenge was interesting…but logistically became a bit of a drag and, to be fair, a couple of the longer runs were tedious and a little soul destroying, doing nothing for my form or fitness…on the other hand, it was good for self discipline and got me out after months of lethargy…
Not sure i would rush to do it again…

Well I did 29km yesterday. Maybe the way to go is do them in reverse

Funnily enough you can!
On Sean’s site he also has a lottery version, drawing distances out of a hat and a pyramid version too

Very good. Although I prefer the GCN target of at least 30min exercise every day as a less extreme challenge.

Yeah, erm … I’ve got two days in Coventry this month, which is a 0613 train and I don’t get back until 1949, so that’ll be interesting.
Calling all of my @APM reserves for that

2-3 hour running days back to back for the last few days is going to take some logistics

That’s one of my resolutions - be more @APM and get the fuck out of bed

if towards the end of the month, the obvious solution might be to run there
