There's a charity thing that keeps popping up on my facebook feed, the challenge is to run a marathon in may - not all in one go, 26.6 miles over the month. A mile a day with a few days off.
I'm not big on fund raising, but I thought I'd give the challenge side a go.
I have tried running a few times and I don't get on with it that well, I've yet to run further than a mile in one go.
I've been out twice now - did the run a lamppost, walk a lamppost thing - and covered somewhere between 1.6 and 2 miles each time. Took me half an hour though which is a bit poor show as I can generally walk a mile in 15 minutes when I feel like it.
Anyway, rest day today - my legs hurt like hell, and my waist too. Shows how unfit I was to start.
Anybody else doing a similar challenge or has any advice?
