Once again, the ‘Hitler’ series of video’s excels with a very funny look at Ultra Running. Worryingly, I see plenty of truth in this short clip…

What is it….?
January = How many runs per week?
February = January + How far will you go?
March = January + February + How fast will you go?
The most important thing to reach your personal running goals this spring is to be consistent with your training. In Jantastic 2012 runners logged over 70,000 runs.
Jantastic = January + February + March.
In Jantastic you can:
How to do it
What counts as a run? You decide the distance of each run but the minimum distance to be able to ‘log’ your run is 1 mile. So, the minimum target you could set yourself would be 3x1mile runs each week. There is no maximum daily run distance.
* don’t just set a target number of runs that is super easy for you to achieve each week and won’t be a challenge at all. At the same time, don’t set a target weekly run goal that is unrealistic and over commit yourself. Your number of weekly runs should be a stretch helping you achieve your personal spring running goals.
** Jantastic weeks run from Monday to Sunday and updates can be made daily up until 8am on Tuesday (UK Time) immediately following each week.
Jantastic rules of competition.
For example: if you complete your target number of runs each week you will get a Jantastic score of 25 points in week 1; 25 points in week 2; 25 points in week 3 and 25 points in week 4, which will give you an overall Jantastic Score of 100.
Example 1: A Team of 6 will need to have 5 people score 100% in order for their team to have an overall score of 100%.
Example 2: A Team of 30 will need to have 23 people score 100% in order for their team to have an overall score of 100%.
