DO I HAVE TO RUN OR WALK EVERYDAY?
There is no requirement to run or walk everyday; however, we are encouraging as many people as possible to get out there frequently!
“I’M NOT A RUNNER” – IS THIS FOR ME?
We hear this all the time at Millennium Running. The answer is YES! While we do have avid runners in our community, the Training in Progress Challenge is designed to motivate and inspire people of ANY ABILITY to get out there! Whether you are a Boston Marathon qualifier or aspiring to walk without stopping for 20 minutes, it will be good for your physical and mental health!
WHAT IF I’M STAYING ACTIVE ON AN ELLIPTICAL OR BY SWIMMING, ETC?
That’s cool – we get it and we still want you yo participate. Here is a cool spreadsheet you can use to convert to miles or you can use this cool converter.
