Races are a great way to motivate yourself and give your running some focus. But setting yourself a big running challenge doesn’t have to mean signing up for an event. Aiming to run a certain distance over the course of the month is an alternative way to motivate yourself and build some consistency into your training. We’ve all had races we didn’t really train for as much as we should have. But when your target is a distance over the whole month, there’s less room to talk yourself out of putting on your running shoes several times each week. You’ve still got to do the runs to reach your goal!
Break it down
By breaking your goal down into manageable chunks you, it won’t feel as daunting. 100K over 30 days is just 3.3K per day, for example, or 100K over four weeks is 25K per week. Running every single day isn’t advisable for most people however, as your body needs rest days to recover from your training runs and get stronger. It’s much better to divide your target over four weeks, and that way you’ll have smaller weekly targets that add up to one big one.
