Year in Review 2014
Running Totals:
Distance 2685.55 km
Running Days: 208
Ave per run day: 12.9 kms
Ave per week: 51.5 kms
Ave per month: 223.8 km
If it wasn't for the last couple of months of reasonable running, then the year would have been a disaster, mainly due to a lingering hip flexor injury.
The year started out Ok, with Jan & Feb both running more than 320 kms each then a good March with 450 kms.
Then, it all fell apart with a hip flexor injury caused by carrying a large object from the car to inside the house & twisting the wrong way.
Rest & known recovery methods didn't work, so an intended long run during the winter was cancelled. Four months later, treatment finally kicked in and the hip is probably now at 95% which I can handle with care.
The last few months have allowed running totals of 406 kms & 377 kms which mean there is a descent base to build on into 2015.
Short term plan is the Canberra 100 km in mid March, but later than that is yet to be worked out.
This year has started well with a mountainous run up Stockyard Spur from Corin Dam of 32 kms with just under 1400 metres of elevation gain. Moving time at around 4 and half hours is also a great start to the endurance base.

Planning 3-6 months is a good idea. Planning more than 6 months in advance can be tricky and too many things can mess the plan up. See you on the trails .... :)

6 months is way too short in planning terms for what I like to do. Best for me to look at 18 months & work backwards to a plan. The Birdsville run I did in 2013 had 22 months of forward planning.

I'm terribly disappointed that you managed to thrash my mileage total. Think I'll use a combined cycling/running total for 2015 :)
