![]() ![]() I'm loving how keen people are to join for a run, even at short notice, whether it be a quick lunchtime jaunt or a leisurely run complete with copious chatting after work - I have rarely been on my own. I can't get over how much I am enjoying this challenge. I had forgotten how much I love running! And how beautiful London is. So I put it to the test to see if that was really true. I had the idea that this was probably the sort of running challenge that anyone might give a go, regardless of what fitness level you're starting at. I thought a mile was too little, and a 10k too ambitious, so I opted to run 5k a day for 30 days. It was definitely time that one of my challenges was exercise-related. ![]() Now, even the thought of a 5k run sounds daunting. Safe to say, with a full-time job and a 30-day challenge (that focused on everything from going make-up free, to getting up earlier) to commit to every day for a month, back-to-back, I didn't really ever get back into my exercise regime. In August 2015, I started my year of 30-day challenges. ![]() I completed this 8 months after the 50k and stopped having a standing desk another month after that, in July 2015. Two terrible things to hear.įor several months I did basically no exercise at all, and then I decided to train for a Sprint Triathlon - 750m swim / 19.8km bike / 5.4km run - as it involved very little running.(!) and focused more on swimming and cycling. I'd had a weak lower back before I took on the 50k, and by the time I completed it, I was left with a 'disc bulge', which meant I was told I couldn't run for a year, plus I had to have a standing desk at work. I moved swiftly onto full marathons and peaked with a 50k Ultra marathon. ![]()
