January Update

Today:
Distance:  13.45 km
Time:  73' 19"
Rate:  5' 27" per km
Weather: sunny, nice day, temp 26 degrees, humidity 35%, wind light NE 10 kmph
Week:  16.05 km, 
January & Year:  456.05 kms in 27/31 days at ave 16.89 km per run day

So far, so good for the year. A couple of rather slack days during the month, with 4 running days under 10 kms.
The reason I ask should I include the small run day totals like yesterday's 2.6 kms is it reduces the kms per run day average. Not worried about a daily running streak, I have too many rest days.
Looks like I would be better off to not run or just jog around the block instead of just going over a mile. In the end, they are only figures that look good or bad on paper or in cyberspace.
Today's running was just a run home for lunch and back to work. Spent 25 minutes on a short but intense gym session before heading out the door. Funnily, the running was quite easy, but it was such a nice day, couldn't help but ease along without a care.
A good January, 2nd highest monthly total in 2 years when getting ready for Maroondah Dam 50 km where I did well over a very hilly course. Lots of fun that race and one I will get back to again.

  • That's a good month.

    What does the ave km per run day stat show? Does it relate to ultras? I'm thinking that it would be pretty easy to have a 20km per run day average by running 3 times a week and resting 4 days.

  • Nothing really, it's just another figure. Except 20 kms per day for 3 days a week only gives 60 kms per week. Won't get far into an ultra on that.

  • OK. I think monthly mileage is a good stat. On the kms per day, Martin F said Tuesday night's 5k race was his second run for the day and he had sore legs from the morning's hard session!
