After a couple of days on the bike it was back to a bit of running tonight.

The dog is supposed to have retired from running, but as I got ready to go out the dog got very excited thinking it was time for walkies. So I caved in and took him with me, I was only planning on a short gentle run anyway.

We did 4 miles at the woods, out and back. I did, of course, have to wait for him quite a bit.

Today’s mileage = 4

Total Juneathon mileage = 55 running and 13 cycling

On the bike again tonight…

Rode 3.5 miles along a road. Took a photo. Turned around and rode back.

Total Juneathon mileage = 51 running and 13 cycling

My 23 day runstreak has come to an end. I didn’t run today. Yesterday’s 50k run at Runstock left my legs feeling pretty tired.

However, that doesn’t mean that Juneathon has come to an end. Oh no. Today I got the bike out!

It was good to get on the bike, it was a lovely afternoon and I had a gentle 6 miles in and around Bourne.

I’ve been thinking for a while of setting myself a summer challenge in the form of a bike ride. I’ve a couple ideas:

• 100 mile cycle. I’d love to be able to cycle 100 miles in a day.
• Some sort of cycle trip. I’ve been thinking about a short trip – nothing to difficult – not quite ready for a cycle trip across Europe just yet.

So I do plan to get the bike out a bit more often. As for the running, the next thing on the agenda is Endure24 at Leeds towards the end of the month. A 24 hour race completing as many 5 mile loops as you can in the time.

Today = 6 mile bike ride

Total Juneathon = 51 miles running and 6 miles cycling.

Today we attended Runstock – the idea is to run as many 5k laps as you can in 8 hours.

And to cut a long story short:

I ran 50k.

Helen ran 35k.

A great day was had by all!

Today’s mileage = 31 miles

Total Juneathon mileage = 51

Runstreak days = 23

Just a couple of gentle miles at the woods with the dog.

It’s Runstock tomorrow – 8 hour obstacle challenge – so I’m hoping the low mileage over the last few days might be good for the legs. How many 5k laps can you do in the time? Last year I completed 8 laps or 40k.

Hoping to do 50k this year.

Total Juneathon mileage = 20

Total runstreak = 22 days

Today was a one single mile kinda day. For a variety of reasons:

• It was a long day today at school – the final lessons with Y11s before they take their exam and leave. I felt knackered when I got in.
• Didn’t get out the door for the run until after dinner and I wanted to watch the England game, so it had to reasonably short.
• On Saturday I’m attending Runstock to see how many miles I can run in 8 hours, so probably best to take it a bit easy.

Although the most important reason was to get in and sort out my predictions for Mrs Marples’ amazing World Cup football competition:

It is causing me lots of stress. Initially I had Brazil out at the semis, now I’ve got them winning it.

Even though we are only into the 7th day of Juneathon, I’m actually on a 21 day runstreak up till now. Feeling strong. In fact, tonight’s run could have gone on for much longer, but forced myself to stop.

Today’s mileage = 1

Total Juneathon mileage = 18
