How far can she run in 60 minutes?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMake it your best hour,\u201d is what the NSPCC is saying in accordance with its 60 Minute Challenge, which seeks to raise pivotal funds for the charity\u2019s work with children and families.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The challenge, which takes place on 4 October, is the UK\u2019s first mass participation event aimed at challenging people to run as far as they can in 60 minutes, as opposed to running a certain distance. <\/strong>Those wanting to test their running capabilities will do so at the Lee Valley VeloPark in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.\u00a0<strong>Participants will run round a specially designed one-mile circuit through the Olympic Park, with the challenge of completing as many laps as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xjCINE9DbdQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>NSPCC head of participation events Victoria Kellaway says, \u201cWe\u2019re very excited about this event and hope that loads of people will enter and help support our work. By pushing your limits in our 60 Minute Challenge and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you, you could help change a child\u2019s life. Your support will help us be there for the children that need us, whenever they need us.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She added, \u201cThis event isn\u2019t about who is the best; it\u2019s about being the best you can be. Everyone who enters will be taking on a personal challenge to run as far as they feel able during the 60 minutes. For some people, that might mean running flat out for the whole hour, and for others it could mean more of a gentle jog or even walking some of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Feeling inspired and keen for a challenge, I entered myself into the race and began formulating my training plan and kick-started my fundraising. \u00a0Despite occasionally running 5km and above, a 60-minute fast run is certainly something I have never challenged my body to do. My training plan lasted for six weeks; however, I did have a holiday right in the middle of the training schedule. During this week away, I managed to swim every day and enjoyed three yoga sessions. My aim is to run a minimum of 10km in 60 minutes, although I\u2019m hoping to push it further.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>One-week training snippet<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Saturday <\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>I started back training with a 6km park run through Clissold Park, Stoke Newington.
