The Longest Run Of Your Year →
1 FEB2012
For many of us, the week concludes with a long slow run. Interval training and hill repeats are cast aside for a more leisurely, distance-orientated outing wherein you can fully appreciate why you have taken up the sport. Perhaps with this in mind, one runner is entreating fellow enthusiasts to hit the road and simply see have far you can go. Simon Walkden's The Longest Day Run takes place between midday June 23 and 24, 2012, and challenges each runner to see how many miles they can cover in 24 hours.
