Challenge Almere Participation

Hi, I want to participate in Challenge Almere. About 6 weeks is the race. Last month I couldn’t train because of a new job. Is it still possible to to participate? Will my fitness be enough to finsh the full distance. Thank you?

Hey, it’s impossible to say as an outsider but things like these happen, I always try to tell myself: “I can’t change the past; but I can change my expectations.” Usually from getting to the start line expecting great results, I toe the start line with expectation to “just have fun” and see what the day brings.

How long is the course and how long had you been training prior to the new job?

The course is 140.6 miles. I trained up to 70. 3 miles.

Sounds like you could participate, but as Marjaana says, keep your expectations low. You should be able to finish, but it may not be a comfortable finish!
