In February 2016 I was selected to be an ambassador for the #YouVsTheYear initiative by Under Armour, which is a challenge to conquer 1000km in 2016. You can join the challenge via MapMyRun or Endomondo and track your progress throughout the year. I'll be sharing my stories, my fights as a runner throughout the year on Twitter, Facebook, the #YouVsTheYear-Facebook group and this blog...
Being an ambassador for #YouVsTheYear means supporting and encouraging people, who has taken on the challenge. They are runners - and as a runner you fight! Fight against yourself, the darkness, the low temperatures, the wind and the rain. I'll do my best to encourage and be supportive for these fighters!
This challenge has also brought me the opportunity to try out different types of great running gear from Under Armour like shoes, thighs, T-shirts, jackets, caps and more.
The challenge is set for 1000km for 2016, but for me #YouVsTheYear is about getting out there, crunching those miles to beat yesterday-you, no matter what distance you may cover. It’s about finding motivation within yourself, among friends, and even among strangers whom you’ve never met before, to smash your running-goals.
Even though I already have reached 1000km this year, I'll continue to support and encourage the runners still in the game. My personal goal for 2016 is 2016 miles (3244km). You can follow my progress below.
Challenge yourself - Join us!
