The day after the day after long run…

… is always the hardest.
Despite taking it easy yesterday and only running three miles after running 13 miles on Sunday, today I was aching like heck.

In fact, the whole thing is turning into GroundHog Day. Like the last time I trained for a marathon back in the winter, I seem to do a long run on Sunday, spend most of the week complaining about the pain and then lose the pain just before the next long run…

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.
