Who's signed up for RED January 2021?
Formerly known as Run Every Day, now Regular Exercise Daily.

This will be my 4th year (I'll miss the t-shirt but dig out my oldies). I think with the state of the world, not only do I need it more than ever but my motivation is more fragile than ever too.

I aim to exercise outdoors daily. Lots of running, hopefully my outdoor classes continuing and some walking as active rest.

I'm also eyeing up Adriene's January series Breathe. I enjoyed Home at the start of 2020. I've lost my yoga habit at present though.

If you'd asked me last year, I'd have been starting to train for a 40th birthday marathon this spring... I shelved that plan by late summer as it's just such a huge commitment of training and I wanted to feel secure that it definitely will happen. Plus lack of consistency and races in the past 6 months although I was lucky to get two races in in the autumn.

I've found in previous years that lots of shorter runs in Jan mean I'm faster by Feb and it's easy to ramp up distance when rest days come back in.

I haven't signed up yet but am planning to do so. I'm hoping to start marathon training with the intention of running a marathon in 2021 or 2022 so it would be a good kickstart.
