I'm upping the distance more than I planned to this year, that's down to a certain Mr Iain Beedie. Last year I ran 1025.27 miles, the equivalent of 39 marathons, I did intend to do the equivalent of 40 marathons this year (1048 miles), but then Iain suggested going for 2000kms (1250 miles) and I thought if I'm gonna do that, I'm as well to go for 2016 kms, so the target for 2016 is 1253 miles.
That's just a wee bit of a jump, so I better get serious as of now!
I've a few events planned for the first part of year, so far I've entered:
Seville Marathon in February 26.2 miles
Self Transcendence Ultramarathon in March, 50k (31.25 miles)
Glasgow to Edinburgh Ultramarathon in April, 55 miles
Great Glen Way Ultramarathon in July, 72 miles (my biggy for the year!)
I've named this post 'Hopes and Dreams', I hope I can stay injury free and I am able to complete the events listed above, I dream of my application being selected to take part in the 2017 West Highland Way Race.
Also training to become a Jog Leader this year, that's down to a certain Mr Steven Watt from #JogPKC
InAbootIt!
HeyHo Jolly Boy John, why not go for the equivalent of 52 marathons? Only kidding! I went for a 17 minute run the other day so obviously I'm back on form, better watch your back.
ReplyDeleteI did toy with that idea Tom...but bottled out! Gonna have another go at the Three Trigs an aw.
