As you know, I have an addiction to Strava. Every month I join the Strava MTS Challenge which challenges you to get in as many miles as possible during that month. If you get over 200k (124 miles) you get a 'trophy' in your cabinet and, as my aim is to run at the very least 30 miles a week, I do try to achieve this 200k monthly challenge and, since I started doing it, I have never failed.
This month, however, I have fallen behind due to my foot injury earlier in the month (which is ongoing by the way but doesn't affect my running) so I'm desperately trying to get those final miles in before the end of Sunday.
In the past four days I have done 31 miles, which is pretty much my whole's weeks mileage really but I still have 24 to go. I don't want to tire myself out for Saturday's cross country though so am intending to only do an easy four miles on Friday and have a complete rest day on Thursday. That leaves 20 miles to fit into three days. Cross country is about five miles, leaving 15 for tomorrow and Sunday. Should be easy as Sunday will be my long run day but I'm going out on Saturday night so not entirely sure how fit I'll be for a long run on Sunday morning.
Can I make that challenge?
Tonight's run itself was just a five miler around the terraced gardens and George's Lane.
Total distance - 5 miles
