Hi friends,
Here's a quick update on my running progress in the month of November 2019.
I forgot to save my stats from my Adidas Runtastic app so I just have to write them down manually.
Distance: 90 km
Activities: 13
Activities: 13
Duration: 11 hours 48 minutes
Calories: 8320
Average km/activity: 6.92 km
Average min/km: 7.87 min
In essence, I'm quite upset with myself for not hitting the 100 km mark. Early this month my momentum was really good. Too good even that I think I got carried away with the abrupt increase in intensity on my runs. At the end, I got a little burnout and I got lazy. I could definitely do better but I guess this is a setback that I have to own and learn from it.
But on the bright side, my average pace, which is the minutes per kilometer stats, has broken the 8 minutes barrier. I haven't seen that pace since June so I'm glad that I managed to maintain a sub 8 minute pace this month. Will try to maintain this pace for the next month onward.
It's already December and it's the holiday month! That means vacation will definitely mess up with my running routines. As such, I'm planning to dial down on my goal for this month. Instead of hitting 100 km, I want to hit 50 km for the month of December. That's half of what I usually do and I think that that's very attainable. I'm just setting this low bar so that I'm not always in a rush to chase after such a high mileage.
Also, another reason why I'm targeting 50 km is that I only need 50 km more to hit a total of 1000 km for the year 2019. That is way far than my initial goal of 1200 km for 2019 but I'm still content with this. Looking back at my life, this is the highest mileage I have ever run in a year ever in my life. That itself is a huge achievement for me so that's good news. Well, I'm not going to stop doing this because I want to make this part of my healthy lifestyle. In 2020, I hope to hit 1100 km in total.
Have you reached your 2019's resolutions? What's your plan on improving them in 2020?
Cheers my friends!
