#run1000miles

[onethousandrbirds]

last summer i ran 388.4 miles and i wanted to run somewhere between 400 and 700 miles this summer.

in actuality, i ran 203.33 miles. 

this was mostly b/c of the covid--can’t run if your city is on lockdown or if you can’t find a mask you can successfully run in without waterboarding yourself on sweat. but it’s interesting going over my notes and seeing how covid effected the quality of the runs themselves. 

like, for the month of may my city made the trail i run on one-way, which meant if i wanted to be able to go home i would always have to run the lake which opened me up to the-terrain-keeps-changing-too-rapidly shin splints. or i spent much more time this summer trying my best to give people space which in actuality meant at any given point during a run, i was usually going in a zigzag instead of a straight line (the shortest distance between two points is a straight line).

if covid is less of a problem next summer i wanna try to hit a sweet spot between 400 and 700 miles. the least i’d have to do to hit the bare minimum would be 30 miles per week from may until school starts in august.

Oh snap. We did a walk anyway to see how we would’ve fared + because we just needed to do something. While we would have survived + pushed on, right now my feet are a mess, they haven’t felt this sore in like 2 years (well actually, after last Trailwalker but that was 100k rather than 54k). Ice + change of shoes, and some more rest stops would definitely had helped the discomfort not be so bad. I don’t even think the heat was the debilitating aspect, but we did have to take an a LOT of water due to the sweating (on the train now with a celebratory tea to sort out my temp). So even though we are fit, it was hard enough + so amateur (non-endurance) walkers would’ve struggled. We reckon maybe a disclaimer next time (or maybe even a TW veteran) could flush out the weaker ones. Although TW is supposed to be for everyone, it was initiated as a military training exercise so shouldn’t necessarily allow anyone to enter IF (as is likely) the climate in July will continue to be hot. And if it’s not hot then it’s bloody wet + that still involves resilience. We’re deferring our places but would like to see @oxfamgb by way of @trailwalkeruk + @queens_gurkha_signals come up with contingency. I hope those who went out today on the route survived, maybe just doing half, because sometimes it is actually ok to do less. ••• #trailwalkeruk #trailwalker2018 #run1000miles #hiker #longdistance #marathonwalk #wmnrun #salomonrunner #southdownsway #southcoast #eastsussex #sorefeet #endurance #keepgoing #upanddown (at Eastbourne, East Sussex)

Good to be back out. Knee not perfect and a slow run but a run has been sorely missed. @vivobarefoot @ronhilluk #theoutdoorsawaits #forthemavericks #runnersofinstagram #run #running @ukrunchat #runwithasmile #run1000miles #Trailrunnningmag #runnersofinsta @injinji @scienceinsport @jabra @kalenji_trail #cieleathletics

this summer i ran:

388.4 miles (625.1k) which averaged to 5.63 miles per day. 

In total I spent 52 hours, 25 minutes, and 35 seconds running. despite those numbers, i didn’t feel like i ran enough since for the most part i only ran about 4 or 5 days a week and only did a 4.20 loop for the first two months and only started to increase my distance in july. next summer i want to end somewhere between 450 and 700 miles.

Do you have a photo of your teenage life where you’re totally truly innocently having fun? This is me after having jumped in to Coniston Water during an Outward Bound course (not for the @outwardbounduk Trust though) when I was around 14. • My #ThoughtfulThursday is to get you thinking about those moments when as kids you didn’t have worries. I wonder if it was when you were outside, or perhaps it was when you were doing something adventurous, maybe naughty - that feeling of complete newness + learning: of you + your environment, maybe of the people surrounding you and how everyone + everything fits together. The #OutwardBoundTrust exists to unlock the potential for adventure, development + fun in young people, by offering them situations like this. 97% of students who took an Outward Bound course stated a positive effect on their personal development. I remember at this point feeling completely at ease despite it being a new thing for me to do (jumping in a lake) + you can see how pleased I am. • Obviously it’s not something all teens can do though: it’s expensive. That’s where the Trust comes in, offering subsidised courses to low income families. I’m running the #LondonMarathon2019 to fundraise for such work, as a thank you for what I learnt. I would cherish your support, so my fundraising page link is in my bio. 🏃🏼‍♀️👏🏻 • #thisgirlcan #outwardbound #getoutside #getoutdoors #marathontraining #londonmarathon #run1000miles #charityfundraising #kidswhohike #kidsoutdoors #personaldevelopment #conistonwater #lakedistrict #thelakes #wildswimming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9rAj8nFBV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jb82g2c2kxzw

Finally... 15 days after finishing #myyearofrunning I just wanted to send a Big Thank you to all those who have supported and helped me throughout 2018. Your amazing generosity will help make a difference and I just wanted to thank every one of you. Me, I just went for a run but you've made it count and helped me push to the end #muchlove #youcandoit #forthemums @britishlungfoundation @cr_uk . https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/JoeWood2 . #whyirun #ealingeagles #keeponrunning #globalrunningday #shinewalk #shine18 #shinewalk2018 #keeponwalking #teambreathe #brightonmarathon2018 #brightonhero #keeppushing #myyearofrunning #runningtotal #keeponrunning #CRUKchallengers #ealingfeeling @ealinghalfmarathon @runthroughuk @soar_running @cr_uk @britishlungfoundation @trailrunningmag #RUN1000MILES @palacehalfmarathon @brightonmarathonweekend @palacehalfmarathon @virginsport @richmondrunfest #hackneyhalf https://www.instagram.com/p/BsqjeXTHWcg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gfodgmsd1jo4

In just less than 8 months time I will be running the #LondonMarathon for @outwardbounduk so I’ll be posting content on here + my blog to inform you who they are + what they do. ••• As it’s back-to-school time, I’ve got some statistics about how the Outward Bound courses helped young people in their school + early development. The Outward Bound Trust are an educational charity existing to unlock the potential in young people through discovery + adventure in the wild. Through challenging + intensive courses, young people increase their confidence, self-esteem + respect for others. ••• After taking part in an Outward Bound course, 83% said they felt more confident about what they could achieve in school. 97% said the course had a positive effect on their personal development, identifying increased self-esteem. 87% of students said their course taught them to keep trying when things didn’t work out. ••• I recall feeling positive + more open after my OB course back when I was 14. I was awkward + it sort of allowed me to be that way, meeting others of a similar personality + letting me explore what I could do. Even previous to that, on a different outdoor course in Yorkshire, I was put into new surroundings + yet it felt so comfortable. ••• I’m fundraising for this charity so that kids with less means are able to go do these courses, to build awareness of themselves + their environment (the OBT offer subsidised courses from their funding + donations). ••• If you like this idea + would like to sponsor my efforts to get good at running roads, please visit the link in my bio to donate. Many thanks! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏕👍🏻 #outwardboundtrust #getoutdoors #getoutside #run1000miles #londonrunner #runldn #wmnrun #womenwhorun #thisgirlcan #seriousadventure #MyOBStory https://www.instagram.com/p/BnPK6leA5cj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v7oav9h60fm8
