I enjoyed running the #virtualWHWrace so much I decided to enter the virtual Lakeland 100 race as well. This one is a fair bit tougher (just like the real event!) in that you have to run 105 miles in 7 days. The event runs from Monday 20th July to Sunday 26th July.
I have worked out a plan to cover the 105 miles. Fortunately I have Monday as a holiday so I’m going to do a long run then to give me a good start. So here is the plan
I have decided to do my ‘traditional’ Guess My Time competition! All you have to do is guess how long it will take me to run the 105 miles.
To help you here are my bronze, silver and gold goals
- Bronze - sub 29:36:25 (my pb for the Lakeland 100!)
- Silver - sub 27:00:00 (15:26 per mile pace)
- Gold - sub 24 hrs (13:43 per mile pace)
ultramarathonrunningstore.com have kindly offered a pair of Drymax or Injinji socks for the closest guess

Great challenge John. I guess 23hrs 52.00 mins. The best of luck, if you haven’t already take a look at Dave Troman’s YouTube Video on running 100 miles in a week.

Thanks Gareth. Yes I have watched Dave’s video and picked up some useful tips!
