In October I managed to run 76.3 miles… the first month in a long time where I did round it up to the nearest 5 or 10 miles. And I’d had quite a bit of a well needed rest at the start of the month, so lost out on 15-25 miles in the first week.
Up to last month I was on track for my 1,000 miles in the year, but it might now be out of the window… unless I can plan and deliver and pull back some big mileage in November and December.
I’ll need about 110 miles a month, which is achievable – I did those distances in August. So we will see. This month might be a make or break it.
So I’ve created a plan, which will get me there if I follow it. 4 runs a week. I’ll need to run with others and on my own.
Or, if it starts to look unachievable, I’ll suffice with about 950 miles for the year. I’m not too confident that I’ll get the miles below in, so maybe the 950 will happen instead. We’ll see.
Whatever happens, running with sunrises like this one will be worth it.
