I was keen to push myself over 20 miles this week, and managed it with 23.4 miles. it was hard going as lots of hills on the route. my timing was 2 and half hours, so i need to get the speed up. Very pleased with what i managed but it makes the task of 180 miles seem extremely hard. going to have to step up the training to 3 times a week to stand any chance of completing this.
Well done Chris!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about speed... just focus on distance for now.
When we get to the event itself, you'll have less than 70 miles to do on the longest day, and if we start at, say, 9:30am you'll have about 12 hours before sunset!! There's loads of time available... distance is everything!
Well done Chris, try to break it down into sections though rather than looking at a target of 180 miles.
ReplyDeleteThe longest day is about 68 miles so if you aim for about 32 miles next weekend, that's half way through the longest day .... much more achievable. Well, that's how I look at it anyway.
