February has started with a 500 yard jog to the post box and back.
Baby steps!
I only do 5k runs but my goal is to get faster. At my peak I done it in 23:48.
Yesterday was 26:47 so I'm crawling back the seconds.
87km
12runs
9h 37m
Highlight for me though is my son's stats for January are 55km in 7 runs - I wish I'd been that fit when I'd just turned 7!
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
Unless you're a pro then in my opinion the only person you can compare your exercise regime with is the "you" that you were last week
I don't run so set a target of 20 miles, just to get my body used to it and hopefully find it enjoyable.
Ended up doing 30 miles.
Main highlight were my motivation to run in different conditions and different moods - sometimes bright and energetic on a weekend, sometimes shattered after a day of work.
Also got my 5 mile time from 46:30 to 43:45, and my 5k back under 25:00.
February target is to run more often, totalling 40 miles. The pace will naturally increase, I'm sure, so I'm going to let that happen whilst focusing on motivation and trying to enjoy each run.
36.7 miles
10 runs
3.3 miles short of my 40 mile goal to start me off right for my 1000 mile year goal, which is a little annoying, but my hamstring is tight so I don't want to push it. Feel better today, so hopefully get out for a late night 4 miler later to start the month as I mean to go on - if I can manage a 3 x 4mile run per week pace, I'll make up the missed mileage in this month's target (I have a spreadsheet. yes I'm a loser)
Total distance - up and down the street. It's a start!
You are chuffed with with what you've done and thats whats important. Good luck with keeping it up and do keep posting.

The wisdom seems to be that the big majority of your exercise should be well within your capabilities, in this instance easy running, whatever easy is for you, distance and/or pace. You need a big volume of easy time on your feet, which can be punctuated now and then with big efforts, PBs etc.
I only say this because I injured myself from scoring PBs. My mistake, not yours, I know, but I get twitchy now when I see people talking about concentrating on PBs. By all means have those goals, but don't try to achieve them in every run.
My feedback thread is here.
Not impressive by the standards here but I'm happy that I'm making good progress.
