My first run – locally in the area around my house – and with the daunting prospect of 1095miles ahead of me. Nonetheless, it was a lovely Sunday morning, bright, fresh, crisp and not without optimism. Largely thanks to bumping into a council worker wearing a tee shirt that read: ‘Love Lambeth, Love Your Legs’.

What is 1095miles?

A streak running challenge where you run at least three miles a day, EVERY day, for a year - that's right, no days off.

It's also this running blog where you can follow people on the challenge and where and when they ran thanks to some nifty technology from Garmin that tracks them via satellite and shows off a host of other flashy stuff like their heart rates. You can even 'follow' their progress via a little icon that runs around the map at the end of each link.

We also hold the occasional informal run on Tuesday nights in London, meeting at Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner for a three-mile trot. Look out for posts of the next run. All ages and abilities welcome, it's a social gathering, not a keep-fit club - although being a bit fitter will be a happy by product.
