I know someone who is doing RED January - run every day. They are making quite a show of it on social media which is fair enough. In the meantime I am quietly doing RALOAD Jan - Mar. Run At Least Once A Day.
Today was the first double. 6 in the morning and 4 at lunchtime. You are supposed to leave at least 6 hours between the runs to maximise recovery but I chose instead to do them both in daylight and avoid the dreaded after-work-in-the-dark shuffle.
Despite yesterday's 15 miler the legs felt OK which is fortunate as I had to rush the first run to get to a meeting on time. They should have both been at recovery pace (8:30 min / mile) but the first one had to be under 8:00 pace to get to work acceptably late!
Big weekend now. 10 miles including XC tomorrow and then 18 miles on Sunday. Onwards.
