Off-season 2015

I hear that the new thing for beginning runners is 100 miles in 100 days. A meme to replace couch-to-5K. Seems like a good challenge for someone who's just starting out. Then the other day, I nearly posted that I might try and tick over through the summer, on 5-10 miles per week. Split the difference between 5 and 10, and you get 7, which is an average of one mile per day. So I'm going to have a crack at averaging 100 miles over a 100 day period. I've made a spreadsheet, of course. I've backdated it a bit, so that it finishes at the end of August, the end of the school summer holidays. Which means I'm already a bit behind schedule, but I don't mind a spot of catch-up.

It'll be the easiest challenge I've ever set myself. But it's an exercise in moderation. Just for health, 365 miles a year seems like a pretty good target.
