Charity Running Over Christmas

Posted by Run For Charity on January 22nd, 2020

You have taken the plunge and signed up for a charity running event and then oops…how is it already Christmas. Christmas time is splendid, but it can also be an extremely busy and very stressful time and finding time for you can be a real feat. Present buying, a string of parties and indulging in all the treats that come your way – how on earth will you find time to train for your charity running event?

You have requested all that new charity running kit for Christmas, you have already received your charity running vest from your charity and your training is well underway! What could go wrong? You are a charity runner extraordinaire right? Well, we now all too well what can go wrong and very wrong in the charity running world – the festive season! Don’t let Christmas be the reason that your fundraising efforts take a plunge and to fall of the wagon for charity runs training!

If you have chosen your charity run over Christmas, then the great news is – you don’t have much choice, get your trainers on and get to the finish line. The harder task, is for those of us who have signed up for our charity runs that fall in the new year – and require us to put some training in!

If you commit to a running over the Christmas period, you will also benefit from having a little time to clear your head and being away from all those ever so catchy Christmas songs – sorry Mariah!

Here are 5 tips to ensure you continue your charity running training over Christmas.

1. Have a strict charity running training schedule – and stick to it.
2. Involve family and friends over the festive season, even if they don’t run alongside you – they could always meet you at your finish point with some mulled wine and a mince pie.
3. Request your family and friends not buy you those infamous spotty socks and contribute towards your fundraising target
4. Make it fun, embrace the spirit, you may decide to run through town in a Santa hat or draped in tinsel – don’t trip! This is guaranteed to get you at least a few smiles.
5. Schedule a run on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day – we promise your Christmas lunch will taste better for it, and hey you have the right to have seconds….and thirds. Burp!

Here at run for charity we don’t want to sound like the fun police – but we know how important t is to stick to your charity run schedule and ensure you keep your run for charity in mind – sometimes even the willingness of charity runners can get so wrapped up in the festive season and finding that much needed motivation to stay on top and complete those charity runs is much needed in the future. Stay on it, especially at Christmas, trust us you will be thanking us in the new year. Merry Christmas, love Run for Charity.
