FAQ Run Challenges

What to do when you miss a day?

Life happens and days will be missed. When you are feeling good, up your distance by an extra miles each day. Don’t overdue it in the first month. You will feel great right away but try to stick to modest distances to start.

Going into February, if you have been running 24 miles (39 km) a week consistently, try to up your distances. Sample weekly training schedule below that will get you 30 miles and some buffer:

  • Monday: 5-mile slow jog
  • Tuesday: Recovery
  • Wednesday: 8-miles medium
  • Thursday: 5-mile medium jog
  • Friday: 4-mile slow jog
  • Saturday: Recovery
  • Sunday: 8-mile medium jog

In order to run 2023 km in 2023 it is important to get some milage rather than none. This means going for even a one or two mile jog is better than pushing it off till the next day.

If you miss a day of regular scheduled training, replace one of your recovery days with that workout. Your missed day will then count as your recovery day.

How to balance Social life with Running Life?

Who said these had to be two different things? Running hungover is brutal so try and make your social activity into a running date. Here are 30 other things to do instead of drinking that will help you be in top shape for running.

Doing Bikram Hot Yoga is a great evening activity to do on your rest day. An hour and a half of sweating followed by a healthy dinner is the perfect social activity.

Don’t forget to hydrate a ton before and after hot yoga. Dehydration will make running as miserable as running hungover. The only electrolyte at The Klubb HQ is Ultima. The Raspberry flavor is always gone first.

Does a Treadmill count towards the 2023 km?

Of course! Goal is to commit to something and do it. Ideally you are outside, meeting new people, and exploring new trials. However, weather and work schedules don’t always allow for that. You can add your mileage in manually after your treadmill run to keep on track for the goal of running 2023 kilometers in 2023.

Getting Prepared to run 2023 kilometers in 2023

You should be running consistently starting December 1st, 2022 in order to have a base built in prior to the January 1st official start date. Plan to put in 8 to 10 miles a week during December in order to build your base.

Figure out what times work best for you and start to budget out your running schedule. Running at a 10-minute-mile pace, you can check off six miles in exactly one hour. Test out running in the morning and running in the evening to see which works best for you.
