And so this was the month Linden decided to create a “calendar club” — running as many miles as the date on the calendar. If you do the math, it’s 496 miles for the month, including 196 miles during the final week. Linden had never run more than 130 miles in a week before the third week of her challenge, when she ran nearly 150. She ran 18 miles at a pace of 7 minutes 3 seconds, 19 miles at a 7:08 pace, and 22 miles at a 7:14 pace. The next two days, she went 21 miles in one run and six in another, and then 22 miles followed by six miles.
