Weeks 1–2 · 5–18 October
BaselineFind a comfortable pace
Two short sessions each week, following a health discussion and gym induction. Establish a baseline before confirming the public challenge.
A year of small,
purposeful steps.
Begin with a personal challenge. Review what helps. Build the next stage from experience.
The route
Five stages. Room to adjust.
Mileage figures are cumulative planning checkpoints. Adam will review the goal after the first two weeks.

Beyond the first 16 weeksFebruary–April 2027 May–July 2027 August–September 2027
The rest of year one.
Review & sustain
Publish the challenge outcome. Keep a manageable routine. Review support links and what made the challenge achievable.
Listen & prepare
Explore consented community stories. Consider a short outdoor challenge if fitness and circumstances support it.
Report & decide
Summarise miles, funds and learning. Decide whether a second-year challenge is practical and worthwhile.
A realistic weekly rhythmTwo sessions.
Two sessions.
One honest update.
- Monday & Thursday: planned gym sessions.
- Saturday: optional activity, when comfortable.
- Sunday: record totals and share an update.
- Between sessions: rest, recover and adjust.
This is Adam’s personal plan, not an exercise prescription. Individual health and weight goals remain personal and clinician-informed.
Every recorded mile counts.
Confirmed sessions will appear here as Adam logs them. Planning checkpoints are separate from completed activity.
