When is a day off not a day off?

So i had a day off today, from marathon training and ended up doing three miles on the treadmill at the gym.

The treadmill is supposed to be kinder to your legs as it’s softer than running on the roads but I have to say it destroys me mentally… Even with the headphones plugged into the TV system and watching some random program about possible World Cup stars, I wanted to chew my legs off by the end, not because they hurt but through sheer boredom.

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.
