Adventure/ Challenge ideas

Following on from the inspiring messages I got on a previous post- I've decided to

  1. Plan a 3 month adventure (so its something to look forward to) and
  2. Set myself a challenge. Mental and physical ideally!

Part 2 is proving tricky. I was something exciting and properly challenging. That in some way changes the way I see life. Small ask!

So I thought I'd come here and get some more inspiration.

Only criteria are:

  1. I can't run. (Weird foot) but I can walk or do any other physical activity (with enough training!)
  2. Preparing for it can't completely take over my everyday- work, kids, house are FT things. I have an hour or so an evening, and maybe hour or two at weekends.
  3. Preparing for it can't cost a lot. But I'm prepared to save up for something over time.

Any ideas?

Have a look at Ultra Challenge. I did a 100km walk with them. Definitely challenging and whilst there is some training required wouldn’t take up all your time. You may need to look at the shorter 50km distance depending on your training schedule (I did a 50km without any training, was ill advised but doable.)

Oh that looks good! Thanks. Definitely an option 🙂

Relay triathlon? Get someone else to do the run.

Walk the Camino de Santiago? Combines a&b. Took my friend 2 months

Walk one of the long distance routes in America. I attempted the Appalachian Trail in my youth. Amazing challenge, life-changing experience and wonderful people.

Oh those are brilliant ideas! Thanks. I wanted to do the Camino when I was younger but had completely forgotten until now.
I'll check them both out

Take a long distance journey through the Skardu Valley. In my youth, I tried to hike the Appalachian Trail. Amazing task, life-altering encounter, and amazing people.
