Marchvellous
- 2724 participants logged 57,116 runs so far!
- You’ve not been running as many times as we thought due to human error and bad stats at our end!
- Jan is easy – anyone can run for 4 weeks. Feb things start to get harder but March is when things start to get demanding – especially when we’re asking you to run a target number of times each week, nail your longest runs and predict your personal smack down time.
