I was recently thinking of charity/awareness ideas. One idea that came up was running 10km's a day for an entire year.
Besides the physical aspect, there are many other obstacles that would make this a fairly daunting task.
Is this a realistic challenge for a person with a career, family etc.? Let me know what you think.
Why would it be hard? That's only 43.5 miles per week.
lolzzz
Only if you do each of them in under 30:00 like Deano would.
Go back to Runners World where 43 miles per week is considered a lot.
The mileage isn't that much, but it would be tough to run a 10k every day for a year, considering illnesses and injuries, work and family commitments, etc. It would be easier to run higher mileage with a day off whenever you wanted one.

Seriously? Have you never met a "streaker"?
I don't think the mileage would be tough, I'm thinking more about injuries/illness and other commitments. I work shift work and 12 hour shifts, once you factor in work, sleep, and all the little things in between and hour to run and shower can sometimes be hard to come by.
HTFU.
