Check out my daily blog of running 100km in a month below.

Not only can you get into a routine and know exactly the distances you need to run that day/week, there’s nothing worse than getting lost and losing energy backtracking and trying to get back on route. Running a long-distance across the month means you should focus more on planning your routes. It’s not worth pushing yourself to the point of getting a serious injury. Contrary to the above, if your body tells you to stop and take a couple of rest days, do it. – Listen to your body and take a few days if needed. Getting into a routine is important to tick off those kilometres The 9 strength exercises are illustrated and described below. Forming this new habit will help you to more easily handle higher running mileage and help prevent common injuries. If you know that you are running each Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, you are less likely to put off running until the point of no return. The overall goal of this 30 Day Strength Challenge for Runners is to build motivation and consistency during your off-season. I purchased some brand-new trainers (that I had slightly worn in) before the challenge, and the difference to my old ones was very noticeable. The importance of this really can’t be understated. The Event successfully combines a 6k time trial, an 11k mountain trail run, a multi-terrain half marathon distance and a 10k City Run over the four days. So I didn’t actually do this myself, but picking a month with 31 days gives you the best chance at completing the challenge. However, if you’re a complete beginner, I would recommend getting some kilometres under your belt before you try running this distance. I’d say that if you can comfortably run a couple of 5km routes per week, the step isn’t too huge, though it was certainly big enough that I felt that I had accomplished something. In the months prior to running 100km in 30 days, I was running 10-15km a week, so it was certainly a large step up for me. I’m incredibly proud to say that we have managed to raise well above the target required for Charlie to get this wheelchair. So I didnt actually do this myself, but picking a month with 31 days gives you the best chance at completing the challenge. The ability to get out of the house, exercise well, and appreciate the amazing weather we had were all factors in deciding to undertake the challenge. On top of this, I set myself this challenge during the Covid-19 lockdown.

I set myself the challenge to contribute to raising vital funds for my nephew Charlie, who has cerebral palsy, so that he could get an off-road wheelchair to be able to enjoy the countryside that we all take for granted. This challenge was quickly becoming a metaphor for the rest of my life, particularly my.

This is the equivalent to 10km every three days, or 25km per week, so it’s safe to say that running 100km in a month is no mean feat. I even got some PBs but more than that, something strange was happening.
