77 days.
5 runs, Thursday and Saturday off.
Total of 33.4 km ran. Average of 6.68 km per run. Daily average of 4.77 km.
January is over. Running total for January: 109.3 km (over distance target). Daily average of 3.52 km per day.
Total for February so far: 10 km out of 100 km.
KM left to hit target for February: 90 km (26 days left, need 3.46 km per day)
Working towards targets from last week and other notes:
- Got through the last 14.2 km needed to do 100 km in January. Ended with 109 km, decent given I only ran 19 days, the icy and snowy spell contributing to 12 no run days. (Could have gone to the gym though, bruv…)
- Overall a decent week of running.
- Mainly steady 5 k runs. Trying to make sure the last KM of those runs has a bit more pace about it.
- Ended the week with a steady Sunday 10km.
- Nice to get some rotation again out of the running shoes too.
- Failed on avoiding carbs on Thursday’s work trip. Was tempted by the side of mac and cheese at Canary Wharf’s Yolk.
- Generally was OK with what I ate though.
- Did a couple of low key legs sessions. Being honest with myself: It wasn’t enough.
- No upper body though. Was going climbing but borked finger still feels borked. Try again this coming week.
- Got some walks in, maybe not as many as I liked.
- My legs felt achey a bit this week, did a bit last week too. Not sure if it’s tiredness or the statins/diabetes tablets. Need to keep an eye on it.
- Weighed myself Sunday morning: 91.3 kg / 202 lbs / 14 stone 5 lbs. A starting measure for the coming weeks.
- My sleep hasn’t been that great, two 5am starts, a couple of nights with 5 hours of sleep. For general health wellbeing this needs to be better.
- The mornings are getting lighter earlier. Getting out at 7:30am looks A Thing.
Upcoming week targets:
- 30km of running looks doable again.
- Away Friday, squeezing in a morning run in Liverpool looks tight but will give it a go.
- Two legs sessions.
- One upper body session.
- Low carb and low fats still.
- Need to get some new tips for my Beats Fit Pros. Why don’t Beats just sell these?
