Summer Run Challenge

June 30 – August 10, 2014 FREE Participation!

I participated in the RunWithJess Winter Run Challenge. It was fun and motivating. I usually chose 10 miles each week and had no problem getting it done.

So since I try to run each week during the summer too, I thought that I should participate. Maybe I’ll even win something.

So if you’re also training for a big fall race or just need a little extra motivation to keep up your daily runs, what not join the Summer Run Challenge?

It is FREE to participate, and you receive…

Accountability: weekly reporting of your mileage
Helpful tips and advice via a weekly e-newsletter
Weekly chances to win prizes!
Encouragement and support from others
A fun virtual race to test your speed
Templates for tracking your progress and training tools

HOW IT WORKS:

The Summer Run Challenge is six weeks long. Participants accumulate miles (run or walk) Monday through Sunday, and report back their completed miles each week. Every week you hit your goal, you receive one entry into the weekly prize drawing…

June 30-July 6 – 2 Toms Prize Pack for blister, chafing & odor prevention
July 7-13 – Block Island Organics Prize Pack for skincare in the summer sun
July 14-20 – ProCompression marathon socks for ultimate muscle recovery
July 21-27 – GU Energy Prize Pack for fueling and hydration on the run
July 28-Aug. 3 – Workout DVDs for the cross-training and “it’s just too hot” days
August 4-10 – TBA

Join the SRC Facebook Event here to meet and motivate other participants. You can post pictures and success stories within the event. Invite your friends to join in the fun!
Set your weekly goal… 10, 20, 35, 50… The number may vary each week based on your training plan and racing schedule. You don’t have to indicate your individual goal; however, it’s a great idea to make it public on social media or your blog “My goal this week is to run xx miles in training for the XXX.”
RUN! Track your mileage Monday through Sunday. Use a notebook, Daily Mile or any weekly tracking program. It is encouraged to journal your pre-run meals, what you use for you on-the-run fuel, and how you felt.
Report back your weekly miles HERE once your final run of the week is done. In order to earn an entry into the weekly prize drawing, you must report in each Monday before 12:00noon. Weekly prize winners will be announced every Monday evening, starting July 7th.
