Anyone up for a 'Run 1000k or miles' in 2018 challenge

Last year I swore I would get fitter and joined a FB run 1000k or miles challenge. Did ok through Jan and Feb.

Then my Mum died very unexpectedly on Feb 28th and everything went downhill from then. I have lacked the will, motivation, confidence to get back out there. I think im quite possible a little bit depressed so know that I need to do 'something' to keep me distracted.

I intend to challenge myself again but think I might find more get up to go and actually do it if I have some challenging buddies on here?

I cant do it in miles just jet- I think I would be setting myself up to fail but I do think I can push the Km again.

Plan to start Jan 1st. Not sure if someone else already has a thread going? if so please direct me- if not not then please join me.

Morning all

tim im doing 5k about 2/3 times a week currently so do think that I could push up to Miles if I keep going at this rate into the new year.

should we put a weekly log on here if we are all interested?

I’m going for 1000k this year. I over ambitiously signed up for 1000miles in 2017 and missed it quite dramatically. Was doing well at the start of this year while marathon training, but then got ill and needed an operation which pushed me back. I will finish this year on around 600miles, so think 1000k in 2018 will be challenging but achievable.
There are a few ‘virtual running’ sites that do 1000k/m medal challenges so think I’ll be signing up for one of those.

There's no way I could run more than 100 yards, but I do love walking, so I have signed up for "Walk 1000 Miles".

Yes I’m going to aim for 1000km, I’ve been running for a year and did 750km in the last 12mths so I think it’s doable 18-20k a week.
Just been checking out virtual medals for it Grin

Oooh. I’d be interested in this. What’s the fb group name?

I’ve signed up on strava to do the 1000 miles in 2018.
That’s about 20 miles a week, sort of doable, I think!
We should start a weekly log of how much we’ve run. I always get going well for a month or two then life gets in the way and it all goes downhill Sad

Good luck! 1000k is 11 miles a week, acheiveable but by no means easy. What kind of running are you doing at the moment?
