1000 Mile Challenge

2015 wraps up today. Lots of guys put in lots of miles, training for lots of events, or just because.

Starting tomorrow, step up to the 1000 mile challenge. Simply, run 1000 miles in 366 days #leapyear. Front load it, back load it, break it up however you want. On average: just under 3 miles per day, 20 miles per week, or 84 miles per month.

If you’re curious, 1000 miles from Sbux coffeeteria gets you to Toronto, Chicago, almost NoLa, almost Miami, and about anywhere this side of the Mississippi.

“Why do it?” you ask. Why not? You’re putting in the mileage anyways. Side benefit: this time next year you’ll be the man that ~~walked~~ ran a thousand miles, and maybe fell down at someone’s door. (See: https://youtu.be/MJuyn0WAYNI?t=22)

Track your miles on your own. If you use a GPS watch or a smartphone, join Strava. It’s free, and easy (See Area 51 Club and F3 Nation Run Club).

Cheers to 1000 miles.

Tried to create a club challenge in the A51 running club to track this, but I can’t seem to figure it out. I’m not sure it is an available option, which is a shame. I know that some of the other running apps like Nike+ do this.

Anyone who knows how to do this let me know.

I may give this a shot, although it means wearing the stupid watch to bootcamps all year, which I hate. I generally only wear it for actual runs and just manually log my bootcamps for time duration.
