Well except for Circuit Training on Tuesday evening this has indeed been a 'runners week' for me. It all kicked off at last weeks post Parkrun coffee session whereupon I (maybe foolishly) offered to take one of the other Parkrunners to the Red Kite Challenge at Devils Bridge for the early afternoon and in doing so compete myself having just done the Parkrun.
Here we are only eight days later and my runs have consisted of 3.1 mile Parkrun, 6.2 mile strenuous Red Kite Challenge Trail run, 3.1 mile Parkrun route easy, 5.1 mile hills, coastal path and woodland, 6 mile hill trail and a small section of road, and a 3.1 mile Parkrun. That folks is 26.6 miles unless of course my maths is wrong.
So we now know that I can do the 'Marathon distance', and it's now just about the time span from start to finish along those 26+ miles. Currently the time stands at 8 days, so the next target has to be to reduce that time down to 8 hours, and in doing so maybe reduce my Parkrun time down to sub 30 minutes.
