Since 2021, I’ve set myself a Tour de France running challenge: to run at least 10% of each day’s stage.
Flat stages mean flat runs. Hilly stages mean hills. Mountain stages mean big climbs. Rests mean rest!
Every kilometre is matched to the profile of that day’s Tour stage, so over three weeks I get to experience a small taste of what the riders are tackling.
Here’s my 2026 Tour de France Running Challenge.
