February 406 Challenge #feb406

With so many races cancelled or postponed, here is a challenge for February. No awards, no prizes, just an idea to provide some incentive for February doing the #feb406 challenge.

Option 1:

It’s simple, this is the ideal scenario: 28 days in the month, you run the days in km’s totalling 406km and you alternate providing easier and harder days. This should balance stress and recovery. Of course, listen to your body… This is not designed to break you but push you to a new level with a new challenge.

Day 1 – 1km
Day 2 – 28km
Day 3 – 2km
Day 4 – 27km
Day 5 – 3km
Day 6 – 26km

and so on…

Option 2:

Alternatively, you could get a calendar and run any of the day date distances on any day. Use the calendar like a bingo card and tick distance off as you complete it. This may be useful if you struggle for time, for example, you could put all the longer distance, 28km, 27km, 26km, 25km and so on on weekends.

Example of how to move the distances but still run all the dates, but on sporadic days with 406km total.

Option 3:

You aim to cover 406km in February in any way that works for you.

Maybe it’s just the motivation you need. And yes, on the longer days you can split up the distance to make it easier, maybe an AM and PM run.
