January 1st, 2008 — running, statistics
Seven months ago I guessed that I could hit a target to run at least 1000km over the calendar year. Well, I achieved it …just !
The recorded total for the year was 1011.83 km. I just scraped it really though I was somewhat hampered by acquiring a decent grade cold during December.
I could do much better of course - 610 miles over a year is nothing for the more committed runner. I’ve probably recorded higher annual totals myself in previous years but over the last 12 months I’ve had the new, time-consuming interest of the allotment (though, judging by the state of the plot, not time-consuming enough). Getting quite literally whacked by the chicken pox back in May cost me a very spotty and itchy week and a half that won’t happen this year.
No predictions yet for 2008. Do need to enter Liverpool Half soon though.
Despite the graft I do enjoy it. Here’s to Running Outside!
October 8th, 2007 — running, statistics, targets
Back in June I decided to aim for 1000km this year.
Year to date I’m on 813km so with about 12 weeks or so left to do 187km thats about 15km each week to the end of the year. Doesn’t too bad, though there’s Christmas and I’m bound to catch the odd coughs and colds (watch this space, Sarah has got a cold now).
I’ll keep reminding myself of Cronins law:
more running = more cakes
August 17th, 2007 — statistics
Two milestones reached:
600km for the year.
50,000 kcal for the year.
So, I’ve got 4.5 months to run another 400km to hit my target of 1000km for the year. Very roughly that’s an average of 15 mile/week every week to the end of the year. Not that easy for me. Piece of p*** for a chap who can run 17miles in one go.
I wonder how many homemade flap-jacks equate to 50,000 kcal? Probably as many as I’ve consumed this year!
June 6th, 2007 — beach road, hoylake, running, statistics
Measured my Beach Road circuit today with the Navman and not to my surprise it’s a bit shorter than I thought.
Previously I’ve had it down as 4.24 km but after checking today it’s 4.10km. That kind of makes sense ‘cos on previous runs when I haven’t been moving, I’ve been a bit surprised at the average speed.
Suppose I should go through my old posts at some point and correct them.
Anyways, not going too bad today on a warm and breezy day. Coopers pace will do.
Start:13:37

April 10th, 2007 — hoylake, riversdale rd, running, statistics, weather
Made hard work of it today on my Riversdale Rd circuit. Funny how it is - some days it just feels far more hard graft than it normally does. Still, suppose I enjoyed it !
And another thing, where’s this bloody heatwave we’re supposed to be having?
300km for the year so far. Or 186.4 miles if you prefer.
Start:16:33

January 5th, 2007 — statistics, work
I’ve decided to start keeping a log of my running. Further to this post I’ve plumped for google spreadsheets rather than excel. That way my stats are available from either my pc or my laptop - so no faffing around with memory sticks and such like.
I’ve used google spreasheets on and off for a while for some analyse of some of my affiliate marketing activity. Whilst it’s not currently a rival for excel, it does most of what I need it plus your data is online, shareable (if you want) and it’s free.
January 3rd, 2007 — statistics
Inspired in part by Steves mate Matt I’ve added some “for the year” stats to my blog. And as just suggested by Mike I’ll include a number of runs to-date too.
I really wish I’d kept the old spreadsheet up-to-date last year. Think I’ll start it up again for this year and slowly fill in all the blanks for the period April-Dec ‘06.
