Scottish Episcopal priest is in training to run across Iceland
[Scottish Episcopal Church] The Rev. Diana Hall, rector of St. Anne’s Scottish Episcopal and Methodist Church in Dunbar, has been training for more than seven months for the Great Norse Run — a 10-day, coast-to-coast run across Iceland.
The 209-mile run will include crossing half a dozen rivers, four days of seeing nothing but volcanic sand, wild camping at night, and passing only a handful of places of civilization en route.
Hall’s 20-week training plan of running, weightlifting, stretching and mobility – and how to rest – has put her on track for this incredible challenge, with almost 600 miles clocked in training so far, including a DIY full marathon in July. She also is raising money for Rock2Recovery, a charitable organization working with military and emergency personnel who have had damaging experiences of stress.
