My challenge this year has been 1000 miles. To run it, and to have climbed Stok Kangri on a trip to Indian Himalaya. Stok Kangri is a 6, 153 metre peak that requires just over a week to ascend, summit and descend. Because my challenge has been two-fold, I haven't had the full 12 months to run the mileage set. I was busy July and August to climb Stok Kangri and to prepare physically and mentally for the trek.
So that leaves ten months. 100 miles a month. 25 miles a week. Along the way, I've set running challenges to raise awareness and keep me focussed and motivated. There was the ultra, the 3 marathons in 3 days and other races including the Liverpool Half Marathon in a gorilla suit.
At the moment, I'm on track but I've got to keep going. Mileage is everything. No matter what, how or even how slow. It's all about chopping that tree down.
