All was going well, last year, achieving …
- 1769 Miles walked
- Learning to Race-Walk (work in progress)
- renewing my love of parkrun
- Joining a new athletics club
… all was going well and then, it just ground to a halt !
I’m not sure as to why.
After my first ever race walk race, I took a few days recovery and just didn’t really get going again.
Then came Christmas with all the over-indulgencies that that entails.
It is now half way through February and I have clocked up only forty six miles (plus a few dog walks but I couldn’t even be bothered to log those!)
Looking at my calendar, I noticed that on the third of next month, I had, postponed from last year, the Birch Challenge. This is a pretty low-key event where one tries to walk / run as far as they can in six hours.
And then, a month later A Coventry Way – the annual forty miler around Coventry.
Well, now is as good a time as any, to get back into the swing, put those shoes on and get out walking.
I’ve made a start fleshing out my training plan. Highlights, this year will include …
- Birch Challenge
- A Coventry Way
- Arran Coastal Path
- Dovedale Dipper
- Rotherham RRR
- Completion of the virtual Route 66
