@musicman I never did any challenges, but do not try to go from zero to 1000 miles in a month. Your knees and ankles will not enjoy it.

@musicman Can you already do fifty miles a day for multiple consecutive days? I expect that you might need to go 40-45 miles each workday, then put in another 50 on Saturday. That would only give you Sunday for resting, so maybe 50 Monday through Friday and then weekends off.

I did 1250km in May (vs ~1609 for July). I generally don't take days off, but 100km on Saturday and then on Sunday will not be particularly challenging in the abstract.

488.46km is what's current, but I am going to increase it.

707.76km now planned
